NCC, Maida deny granting MTN, Glo, others permission to increase tariff

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has denied granting telecommunications companies in the country like MTN, Glo and others permission to increase tariffs.

Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice-Chairman/CEO of the NCC, stated this on his verified X account on Saturday addressing the false information circulating within the telecom sector.

Reports had emerged across some sections of the media that the telecoms industry regulator had granted the request of the network providers to increase tariffs.
