NCC Orders All Telcos to Increase Data Price Starting From Dec 1st 2016

In hard times such as the ones we are passing through, one would think that the NCC would at least try to make life easier for Nigerians instead they are doing the exact opposite. The NCC has ordered all telecommunications companies to increase their data plan prices beginning from December 1st 2016.


This is really sad, I remember that as at last year, you could only get as much as 260MB for 1,000 on MTN(I don't know if you remember) but over time it got better and better now we at a point where I can easily get 3GB for N1,000 on the same MTN.

However, NCC believes that increasing data plan prices is one of the surest ways of generating revenues for the Government. They know regardless of how much it is, that we can’t do without buying data.

Don’t be surprise if beginning from December 1st 2016, N1000 will only get you 500MB of data. The data you normally get 3GB for N1000 before will be history.

If you don't believe me, call MTN self-help centre at 181 and listen to the announcement yourself.

This is indeed really sad, but I know if we can survive buying 260mb at 1k we will definitely overcome whatever is coming!
