Telecommunications companies operating in Nigeria have revealed that they will soon commence charging subscribers the 50 percent call, data, and other tariff hike.

The Chairman of the Association of Telecommunication Companies, ATCON, Gbenga Adebayo, disclosed this to the newsmen on Wednesday.

Adebayo noted that telcos are concurrently fulfilling all regulatory requirements necessary to implement the fresh telecoms tariff hike for subscribers and did not state the exact date telcos would commence the fresh tariff hike implementation but said it would take off any time operators conclude the required regulatory steps.

His update follows the recent approval of a 50 percent telecom service tariff hike by the Nigerian government through the Nigerian Communications Commission. While the Minister for Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, blamed rising inflation as justification for the tariff hike, the Nigeria Labour Congress and subscribers have rejected the move on the ground that it would worsen the hardship in Nigeria.
