The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali
Pantami on Tuesday insisted the Nigerian Communications Commission
(NCC) must work out modalities to reduce the price of data in the
interest of Nigerians.
Pantami said his office has been inundated with complaints from
concerned Nigerians about the high cost of data by telecoms.
The Minister mandated the management of the NCC led by its Board
Chairman, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, during a courtesy visit to
work out the modalities with other stakeholders in the industry in
the next five working dates.
The Minister said: ” I am urging the management of NCC to work
towards reducing the price of data in Nigeria. It is too costly and
people are complaining every day.
“If you go to other countries, even countries that are not as
largely populated as Nigeria, data prices are not this high.
“I am also a victim of some of the infractions that are so
common in the industry. You load your data, but you barely used 20
percent of it and the entire data is wiped off.”
