The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, said Nigerians will have to pay 30-60 percent more for calls, data, and other services in the telecommunications sector.

Tijani disclosed this in a recent interview with Channels Television.

According to him, the telecommunications sector is entirely about investment to spur Nigeria’s economic growth.

He noted that investors in the sector continuously invest in equipment to remain relevant despite inflation.

“I think the telecommunications tariff increase should not be more than 30 to 60 percent.

“The sector is about investment in infrastructure; the technologies are changing, so you have to keep investing in technology. Things like 3G will be decommissioned at some point because you have higher technology, so they have to keep investing in equipment. And we all know that there is inflation. For us, as we are protecting them, we want to keep importing capital in the sector. The foreign direct investment in our sector in the first quarter of 2024, driven by telcos, was close to $199 million; this is bigger than the entire inflow in 2023. We can’t get to a $1 trillion economy if mobile network operators are investing at a snail’s pace,” he stated.

This comes days after he confirmed that Nigeria’s telecom services tariff will be increased; however, not 100 per cent.

You can still reduce to like 45%

Omo.... This is sad ..

With the high inflation and economic crisis under this silly government, increasing calls and data tariff should never be a consideration this moment.

They need to make profit also, everything don cost.

Abi na until dem begin downsize, na una go still cry if them pack up.

So you know?

See I will never blame the telecom industries, do you know how much these people spend to keep one mast running.

They don't use our normal Nepa light to operate, they use generators, like a generator running for a week and all that.

This is as a result of malistration and all that, let the government and the people get their shit right first, then we can talk.

THEY SHOULD INCREASE IT TO 150% Both Data

You forgot to tell us why everything is expensive under Tpain

That's one thing with this leaders...they don't even care to consult people. How will you just impose things on people? Instead of improving the lives of the citizens, they are busy frustrating the masses.

More pains for the masses!
The best government with First Class in promises.

Sad reality in the light if serious inflation.

Way out is for government to find a way to tame the inflation and bring it down, otherwise the telecom industry will colapse if they are not allowed to jack up prices.

Those companies are not father Christmas. It is government responsibility

God help us in this country ...
Everything is increasing yet the minimum wage is nothing to write home about .it's sad

Pay more , pay more always

He must not go empty handed. The regulators being regulated. As he increases the charges, the telcos also increase the volume of thank you.
