Telecommunication subscribers in Anambra, Ebonyi, and Enugu States have criticized the recent increase in telecom tariffs approved by the Federal Government, stating that it does not reflect an improvement in service quality.
According to reports by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the subscribers described the development as an “act of injustice” against the populace.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had approved a 50% increase in telecom service tariffs, impacting phone calls, SMS, and data bundles nationwide. Telecom operators justified the adjustment, arguing that sustaining quality service without a tariff hike would be difficult.
