The Nigerian Senate has halted the planned hike in data price. They stated that the proposed increase by the NCC is an irresponsible act which will only further intensify the plight of the masses.
According to reports circulating in the media, the recent directive by the NCC to the five telecommunications operators in the country to increase their data tariff is to allow small operations and new entrants acquire market share and specific profitability.
The proposed hike has generated a lot of condemnation as the masses have started to lament about the insensitivity of the NCC especially with the current economic challenges.
