NCC to unveil new tariff plan December 13
The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has announced a new tariff plan that would commence on December 13, 2024.
The Commission said it would be unveiling the new set of tariff plans for telecom operators on the mentioned date.
The Executive Vice Chairman, EVC, and Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the Commission, Dr. Aminu Maida, made this announcement in Abuja on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
The commission had previously planned to announce the new tariff plan on October 27, but the date was postponed.
The new tariff plan, according to the EVC, is expected to bring relief to telecom consumers by simplifying offerings and eliminating confusion regarding data and airtime usage.
The NCC has imposed a limit on the number of tariff plans that operators can offer, restricting them to a maximum of seven.
To address concerns about rapid data depletion, the NCC has clarified that telecom operators are not responsible for the issue. Instead, the type of phone used significantly impacts data consumption.
The commission is currently conducting awareness campaigns to educate consumers on this matter and guide them in selecting suitable devices.
By implementing these measures, the NCC aims to create a more transparent and consumer-friendly telecommunications market in Nigeria.
