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.

Breaking! Governorship, State Assembly Elections Postponed By The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) To March 18, 2023

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reached a decision to postpone Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections to March 18, 2023. The postponement was due to the commission’s inability to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections. INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until due inspection was conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

  The Sea of Galilee, Israel, despite its name, the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is actually a freshwater lake, and it's one that has sustained life for millennia. Even today, the lake irrigates vineyards and local farms that grow everything from green vegetables to wheat and tangerines. Its archeology, hot springs and hiking trails bring tourism and livelihoods for local communities. But this place of religious pilgrimage — where the New Testament says many of Jesus' miracles were performed — is facing a bleak future, CNN reports. The climate crisis is causing huge fluctuations in the lake's water levels. Now it happens to be fairly full, but just five years ago, it hit a record low. Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up th...
