NCC denies Claims of Telecom Tariff Hike

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has dismissed rumors of an increase in telecom tariffs or the introduction of new tariff plans.

In a statement released on Saturday via its official X handle, the NCC addressed reports suggesting that the regulator had approved a tariff increase for network operators.

“The NCC has not approved any new Telecom Tariff Plans or hikes as reported online. The public is advised to disregard such misinformation. The NCC has directed all operators to simplify their current tariff plans transparently and fairly for consumers,” the statement read.

The NCC urged the public to ignore the false information circulating on social media. The commission emphasized that no tariff increase has been sanctioned and highlighted the need for accurate information within the telecommunications sector.
