BREAKING: MTN Nigeria Has Reportedly Increases Call And Data Tariffs By 100 Percent—-MTN Nigeria has reportedly increased call and data tariffs by 100 per cent.

Thecloudngr reports that the Chief Executive of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, has said the telecommunications firm has sent a proposal to the Nigerian Communications Commission for a 100 percent service tariff increase.

However, the CEO expressed that it remains uncertain whether the Nigerian Communications Commission, the telecom regulator, will approve the proposal owing to existing economic hardship in the country.

“We’ve put forward requests of approximately 100 percent tariff increases to regulators.

“I doubt they’re going to approve that quantum of increases because they are very, very sensitive to the current economic situation in the country,” Toriola said.

This comes amid heightened speculation of an imminent telecom service tariff hike in Nigeria, this year.

The Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Gbenga Adebayo, recently threatened a shutdown of operations without a tariff hike.

However, telecom subscribers rejected any move to hike tariffs.

JUST IN: Lagos Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa Impeached As Mojisola Meranda Sworn In As First Female Speaker [VIDEO]

JUST IN: Lagos Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa Impeached As Mojisola Meranda Sworn In As First Female Speaker [VIDEO]—-Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, accusing him of multiple statutory and financial infractions.

Mr Obasa was subsequently replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda. Mrs Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1, was also a former chief whip of the House.

The removal came days after The Gazette reported how Mr Obasa oversaw the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back up vehicles for lawmakers, as well as other controversial activities.

Mr Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Repeated charges of fraud and political thuggery have marked his speakership. In 2020, Peoples Gazette published a series of investigations detailing how Mr Obasa diverted Lagos funds to his personal firms and bank accounts. Sahara Reporters at the time also uncovered Mr Obasa’s assets across Lagos.

He was invited to be questioned by the EFCC after the anti-graft office became overwhelmed by media reports of Mr Obasa’s mismanagement. He denied all allegations, and no charges were filed after he met with detectives.
