Rumour: Buhari Planning To Increase Internet Data Tariff
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has
ordered all telecommunications service providers
to increase the cost of internet data with effect
from the December 1.
A call to MTN Customer Care line, 181, confirms
this, as an auto responder informs customers
clearly on what is to come.
The responder says: “Dear customer, please be
informed that from the 1st of December 2016, all
MTN data plans will be changed in compliance to
NCC directive to all operators, thank you.”
In such a time like this, this news is not good
enough for now because the nation is already
experiencing recession, implementing this directive
will only make life harder for Nigerians.
This is sad, NCC believes that this is one of the
ways they can generate revenues for the
Government. They know that we can’t do without
buying data… so they decided to mandate all
Telcos to increase their data price… hmm!
Nigerian Government through its agencies should
not make life harder for Nigerians! Don’t be
surprise that beginning from December 1st 2016,
N1000 will only get you 500MB of data. The data
you normally get 3GB for N1000 before will be
history.
In short, all MtN users should call 181 self-help
service number to listen to this announcement
which will take effect from 1st of December.
This is sad, but we shall overcome!
