The recent approval by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for a 50% increase in telecom tariffs has sparked widespread debate. With phone calls now expected to cost ₦15.40 per minute, SMS charges rising to ₦5.60, and 1GB of data increasing to ₦1,400, the impact will be felt by millions of Nigerians.
While telecom operators anticipate ₦6.74 trillion in revenue by 2025, helping them offset rising operational costs, the big question remains: how will this affect consumers and businesses that depend on affordable telecom services?
From small businesses and online retailers to content creators and everyday mobile users, the hike raises serious concerns about affordability, business sustainability, and Nigeria’s digital economy. Meanwhile, consumer advocacy groups are already calling for a downward review, but what if their pleas are ignored?
In this episode, we look deep into the conversation:
How will the tariff hike impact individuals and businesses?
What strategies can Nigerians adopt to cope with rising telecom costs?
Is the telecom sector moving toward economic progression or retrogression?
What does this mean in the broader context of other tariff increases in energy and transportation?
Take a listen.
