We earlier hinted that you’ll soon start paying more for data bundles and calls if Section 24 of cybercrime 2015 Act is implemented here.
The Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) is looking to release a new price for data, Prof. Umar Danbatta, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, has said.
Danbatta made the disclosure on Thursday during his induction as a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Engineering (NAE).
What this means is that if NCC eventually release new data price, and If the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act 2015 are eventually implemented, then you’ll likely be getting 250MB for N1000 to last you for 30 days. While calls may be charged at 1naira/sec, 10MB data plan may now go for N100 to last you for a day.
But don’t expect anything cheaper than what you are already paying for data.
Data plans and call tariff are already on the high side, and the fear is Telecom Companies in Nigeria will have no choice than to adhere to the new data price rule from NCC.
I don’t think this will ever happen
1secs/1naira?
This will definitely mean that we are poor
Abeg ooo we don’t want this one oo
My God, Is the hardship in the country not enough already, why does the government want to add to the problem we are already facing. This is injustice.
? I’m speechless for now
that means data will be a luxury for everyone. prof, will it affect the Mtn resellers too?
In this hardship, thats when the want to do all this. It will never work IJN. AMEN
God WILL SCATTER this plan.
Whats d use of this NCC. Are they not supposed to be controlling d telcom operators to make things easier for us instead they want to make life more difficult
May God punish them all for even thinking towards that direction.
Absolutely nothing to say..
Congratulations ? to those who supported this government. This people want to spoil our show. When am happy for ntel. I subscribed 3k data and I was giving 53gig, but it seems like NCC are now the enemies of progress. God pass them
Nigerians were deceived . Buhari is an idiot. So don’t blame nigerians.
bad gradually going to worse. naija which way? ?
Nothing this people ever do to help us… this not a good one at all
Please, it shouldn’t get worse than this
Ah… They should reduce it down and not high
This people are sick………this is nonsense now
God will punish buhari and his generation yet unborn. Ameen
This is really bad but i feel they are just saying. They dare not go on with such an evil plan
May thunder begin to do press up for them
i really hope dis doesn’t happen
What sort of nonsense plan is this? The mind that even conceived this new tariff is evil
May Amadioha strike them all dead
God forbid!! ? We can always buy at cheaper rate from data reseller
@jendo this will also affect data resellers
