A telecoms industry insider had earlier dropped this bombshell here on Nairaland but i do not think the issue was given the proper attention it deserved. Some few minutes ago i received SMS notifications from two different Network Service providers informing its subscribers of their plan to hike data tariff starting Dec 1.
I refuse to be convinced that FG is taking this action for the sole purpose of generating revenue. It is very obvious even to a blind man that if the federal government were serious about shoring up revenue,it would immediately cut down the excessively high cost of governance.
This latest move by the FG is not unconnected to its desire to clampdown on the Nigerian online space which is the last bastion for the Nigerian youths to gather and reflect on the gross ineptitude of this government and figure a way out for our young generation.
FG knows that only few would be able to meet up with any increment in data tariff due to the terrible economic situation deliberately imposed on the masses by this regime. We can't continue like this.
