The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has dismissed rumors of an impending increase in telecommunications tariffs, allegedly scheduled for January 2025. The Commission described the reports as baseless and called on subscribers to disregard the misinformation.
A senior NCC official, speaking with PUNCH on Sunday, clarified that no tariff adjustments have been approved. The official reiterated that the NCC operates within a transparent framework outlined by the Nigerian Communications Act, which requires thorough stakeholder engagement and strict adherence to due process before any tariff changes are implemented.
“These rumors are unfounded and misleading. The NCC remains committed to protecting consumers and ensuring that any potential tariff adjustments are communicated clearly and transparently,” the official stated.
