MTN, Airtel Announce Increase In Rates for Internet Data Plan

 

Nigeria's biggest Telecommunication Companies, MTN and Airtel, have made known the increase in data plan prices to subscribers. With about 10 per cent increase in prices for their internet data services.

The increase was made public by MTN(@MTN180) and Airtel(@AirtelNigeria) on their verified Twitter pages. 

In March 2020, the Federal Government signed the Nigerian national broadband plan 2020-2025 designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria with effective coverage available to at least 90 percent of the population by 2025 at a price not more than N390 per 1GB of data.

The Government's plan to achieve a 90% broadband penetration by 2025 may be impeded by the recent hike in data prices by telecom companies.

    Since there is no proper regulation, they can do what ever they like.
    My prayer is that God should always provide to meet our needs.
