Nigerians anxiously await the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)’s announcement on December 13, 2024, regarding new tariff plans for telecom operators.
This announcement was made by Dr Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, in Abuja on Thursday, November 28, 2024. The plan was originally set to be unveiled on October 27, but the date was postponed.
The new tariff plans are designed to simplify telecom services for consumers, reducing confusion about how data and airtime are used. Under the new rules, telecom operators can offer a maximum of seven tariff plans.
To address complaints about data running out too quickly, the NCC explained that telecom companies are not to blame. Instead, it said that the type of phone people use plays a big role in how fast data is consumed. The NCC is now running awareness campaigns to educate users on choosing devices that suit their needs.
These changes aim to create a clearer and more consumer-friendly telecom market in Nigeria.
