Nigerians have gone on social media to lament after they woke up to see that their mobile operators have increased tariffs.
This realisation caused a number of popular telcos to trend on social media.
Social media sers lamented that an internet bundle that used to be available for N2K for 15GB of data is now N6,000 for the same 15GB of data.
Nigerians took to social media to lament this increase, while pointing out that the economic situation just keeps worsening by the day.
Recall that in January 2025, the NCC approved a request for tariff adjustment by operators after telcos’ agitation for cost-reflective prices in the face of harsh economic conditions.
The NCC capped the increase at a maximum of 50% of the current tariffs, though lower than the over 100% requested by some network operators.
However, the current increase being experienced by users shows that the increase might have exceeded 50% in some cases.
