 Telecom tariff review: FG proposes 30-60% hike


The federal government has proposed a 30-60% increase in telecom tariffs to sustain the critical telecommunications sector while ensuring affordability for Nigerians.


The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, who disclosed this in an interview on Wednesday, stated that recommendations from independent consultants, including KPMG, had been received.

He said: “The telecommunications sector contributes over 16 per cent to our GDP, employs thousands of Nigerians, and is essential to the nation’s digital economy. However, it is crucial to ensure that services remain accessible while maintaining the sector’s viability.”
