The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has dismissed rumours of a telecommunications tariff increase allegedly set to take effect in January 2025.
The Commission labelled these reports as unfounded and urged subscribers to disregard the misinformation.
A senior NCC official emphasized that the regulatory body operates under a transparent framework guided by the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA). This framework requires stakeholder consultations and adherence to due process before any tariff adjustments are approved.
“These rumours are baseless and misleading,” the official stated. “The NCC is committed to protecting consumers and ensuring any potential tariff changes are communicated clearly and transparently. Subscribers can rest assured that no tariff increase has been approved.”
The NCC also appealed to journalists and industry stakeholders to verify information before publication, stressing the importance of accurate reporting to avoid unnecessary public panic.
