The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has approved a limited increase in telecommunication tariffs for network operators. 

The decision was made after engaging with stakeholders to address the rising costs of operations while maintaining consumer interests.  

The adjustment, capped at a 50% maximum increase, is lower than the requests made by some operators. 

The aim is to enable operators to manage operational expenses, invest in infrastructure, and improve service quality.  

Telecom tariffs in Nigeria have remained unchanged since 2013, despite economic challenges such as inflation and the depreciation of the Naira. 

This has strained operators like MTN Nigeria and Airtel, which have reported significant financial losses due to escalating costs and regulatory restrictions on tariff changes.  

To protect consumers, the NCC has directed operators to implement the adjustments fairly and transparently.

 They are also required to inform the public about the new rates and ensure measurable improvements in service delivery.  

The Commission assured Nigerians that it remains committed to creating a balanced environment where consumer protection, industry sustainability, and sector growth are prioritized.
