The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has said Nigerians will have to pay 30-60 percent more for calls, data, and other services in the telecommunications sector.
Tijani said this in a television interview explaining that the telecommunications sector is entirely about investment to spur Nigeria’s economic growth.
He says investors in the sector continuously invest in equipment to remain relevant despite inflation and as such he thinks the telecommunications tariff increase should not be more than 30 to 60 percent.
This is coming after he confirmed that Nigeria’s telecom services tariff will be increased; however, not 100 per cent.
