The Federal Government of Nigeria is reportedly set to reduce the telecommunications tariff hike from the previously approved 50 percent to 35 percent.
According to Vanguard, the reduction followed a meeting of the 10-man committee comprising government officials and representatives of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.
The meeting was reportedly held at the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, on Friday.
Reports further indicated that an official communique announcing the tariff reduction is expected to be released soon by the Nigerian Communication Commission, NCC.
DAILY POST recalls that NLC had on February 12, rejected the hike in tariff by telecommunications companies despite an earlier agreement reached with the NCC.
The organized labour subsequently demanded immediate reversal of the hike to avoid unpleasant consequences as it vowed to mobilize protest.
According to NLC, “If the telecommunications companies fail to revert to the old tariff by the end of February 2025, a total shutdown of their operations nationwide will commence from March 1, 2025.”
