Nigerians will now pay N16.5 per minute for calls and N431.25 to subscribe to 1GB of data following a 50% tariff hike by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Monday.
It was gathered that the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, had hinted that telecom tariffs will go up by either 30 or 50 percent.
His position came from a fallout of a meeting between him and operators who had proposed a 100 percent tariff increase.
The latest telecom tariff hike approval comes 13 years after NCC announced price template in 2013.
