A proposed nine per cent ICT tax being considered by the National Assembly would prevent over 20 million Nigerians from being able to afford a basic broadband connection, according to the Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI)-Nigeria Coalition, Leadership.ng reports

Analysis by the A4AI shows that the proposed tax to be levied on consumers of communications services would result in an additional 10 per cent of the population – equivalent to nearly 20 million Nigerians – being unable to afford a basic broadband plan and threaten the 30 per cent broadband penetration by 2018.
According to A4AI, the tax would also undermine the socio-economic progress spurred by increased connectivity. The Communication Service Tax (CST) Bill 2015, currently before the National Assembly, would require consumers of voice, data, SMS, MMS and pay TV services to pay a nine per cent tax on the fees paid for the use of these services.

These people are totally useless and hopeless. The only thing most ordinary folks avail to make them while away time in their miserydom is also about to be taken away.....*sigh. I gif up totally on this kontiri....

This people should focus on how to make life better for the masses and not on issues like this.

They always know how to milk us dry but they don't know how to improve the economy.
