The National Association of Telecommunications Subscribers (NCC) will engage the Nigerian Communications Commission this Friday, seeking a possible reversal of the 50 per cent telecom tariff hike to 10 per cent.
The Federal Government approved a 50 per cent increase after operators initially requested a 100 per cent hike.
However, subscribers are pushing for a 10 per cent adjustment, and if talks fail, they plan to file a lawsuit next week to challenge the decision.
The labour union, led by Joseph Ajaero, criticised the increase on Wednesday, saying that it is an added burden on Nigerian workers who earn less than $50 per month as minimum wage.
The union warned of potential collective action, including a nationwide boycott of telecom services, to compel the government and the NCC to reverse the decision.
