    Telecom Operators Get NCC Nod for 50% Tariff Adjustment – Ravenewsonline

    NCC's Boss

    Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced that it will approve tariff adjustment requests by network operators, in response to current market conditions.

    The adjustments, capped at a maximum of 50% of current tariffs, are lower than the over 100% requested by some operators.

    These changes will remain within the tariff bands stipulated in the 2013 NCC Cost Study and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, adhering to the NCC Guidance on Tariff Simplification, 2024.

    The adjustments aim to address the gap between operational costs and current tariffs, ensuring service delivery is not compromised.

    They will support operators in investing in infrastructure and innovation, benefiting consumers through improved services and connectivity.

    The decision was made after extensive consultations with stakeholders, balancing consumer protection and industry sustainability.

    The NCC has mandated transparent implementation and public education on the new rates, with a focus on measurable service improvements.

    The NCC remains dedicated to fostering a resilient, innovative, and inclusive telecommunications sector, supporting indigenous vendors and suppliers, and promoting Nigeria’s digital economy.

    The Commission will continue to engage with stakeholders to create a telecommunications environment that works for everyone.
