From 2K to 6K: The Controversial Tariff Change
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) recently approved a 50% tariff increase for telecommunications services, marking the first adjustment since 2013.
However, reports have emerged that some telecom operators have implemented tariff hikes exceeding the approved 50%, with instances of increases up to 200%. This has led to the trending topic “From 2K to 6K” on X (formerly Twitter), where users express their concerns and frustrations over the unexpected surge in service costs.
The NCC has mandated that operators implement these adjustments transparently and fairly, requiring them to inform the public about the new rates and demonstrate measurable improvements in service delivery.
