The Concerned Citizens Forum (CCF) has thrown its weight behind the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) over the recent tariff increase by telecommunications operators.

The group lauded the NCC’s leadership for its patriotism and commitment to ensuring the sustainability of Nigeria’s telecommunications sector.

At a press conference in Abuja, the National President of CCF, Opialu Fabian, noted that the tariff adjustment was necessary to reflect the current economic realities faced by telecom operators.

He explained that despite the significant increase in operating costs, Nigerian telecom rates had not increased since 2013.

Fabian emphasised that the NCC’s decision to approve a 50% tariff increase, rather than the over 100% increment requested by operators, demonstrated the commission’s commitment to balancing the interests of operators, consumers, and the broader economy.

The CCF president also commended the NCC for directing operators to offer affordable service plans tailored to different income levels, ensuring that telecommunications services remain accessible to all Nigerians.

He said: “Indeed, the approved tariff adjustments are not just about addressing the financial challenges faced by operators; they are also a strategic move to secure the long-term sustainability of the telecommunications sector.

“The adjustments will enable operators to invest in critical infrastructure, thereby improving network quality, reducing service disruptions, and enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

“Furthermore, the adjustments will support the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy by providing the necessary resources for operators to expand connectivity to underserved areas.

“This will drive innovation, encourage more educational research purposes, create job opportunities, allow the operators discharge their services at optimal level, and boost economic productivity, ultimately benefiting the entire nation.

“Perhaps, the NCC’s emphasis on assisting local suppliers and vendors who are essential to the telecommunications industry is arguably one of its most patriotic features.

“The NCC is creating an atmosphere where regional companies can prosper and make significant contributions to Nigeria’s economic growth by guaranteeing the telecom sector’s viability. This approach aligns with national goals of promoting self-reliance and fostering economic opportunities for Nigerians, thereby strengthening the country’s position as a leader in Africa’s digital economy.

According to Fabian, the tariff adjustment is a forward-looking strategy aimed at addressing immediate challenges while securing the long-term viability of Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.

He urged all stakeholders to support the NCC in its efforts to build a telecommunications environment that benefits everyone.
