The House of Representatives has demanded immediate suspension of the newly introduced 50 percent telecom tariff hike.

The lawmakers ordered the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Minister, Bosun Tijani, to “suspend the tariff increase because of the economic hardship in the country.”

The House also decried the poor service delivery from telecom operators and insisted that an increase in tariff should not happen until service improves.

This follows a motion of urgent national importance by a member, Oboku Oforji,

The lawmakers ordered the NCC and the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, to suspend the tariff increase because of the economic hardship in the country.
