Wailers need urgent debugging of their entire system

For optimal performance
So Etisalat are now wailing too? You and dullardinhoe will answer to the Nigerian people if any of these giant Telecom's company should pack bag and leave due to policy flip-flop of this administration. The so called 16yrs misrule attracted those multi billion dollars investment which employed millions of Nigerians and put food on their tables.

i still don't understand this government. there was a time some part of this government were saying FG removed fuel subsidy while the rest were saying FG increase pump prce. Now data again, MTN is claiming that there will be hike in the price of data as a result of NCC directive and NCC is disclaiming it now. Who is fooling who in this country?

By Dipo Olowookere
Nigeria’s Minister of Communication, Mr Adebayo Shittu, has disclosed that the Federal Government never gave any directive to telecommunications operators in the country to increase prices of data from Thursday, December 1, 2016 as claimed.

Since the beginning of this week, Nigerians have continued to kick against messages sent to them via text messages by telecoms operators, informing them that from tomorrow, prices of data would go up and in some cases, by 100 percent.

Network providers claimed they were ordered by the telecoms regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), to raise data tariffs.

“Dear valued customer, effective 1st Dec 2016, we will review our data plans & prices in compliance with NCC directive,” a message from Etisalat to its subscribers read.

But speaking on Wednesday on RayPower FM’s Fact File programme, which was monitored in Lagos by Business Post, the Minister said he was never consulted before the announcement was made. He stressed that the government did not authorise the operators to raise the tariffs.

However, he assured Nigerians that the government would look into the matter and continue to protect their interests.

“I can tell you that I was never a party to it (data tariff hike). Government never gave any such instruction. This government believes in democratic process and we would continue to protect the interest of Nigerians. I can assure you we would do that (protect interest of Nigerians),” he said on the radio programme.

Also on the issue of subscribers still getting unsolicited messages from operators, Mr Shittu promised to take steps to stop the menace.

He lamented that he also gets such messages from his operator. “I am also a victim of unsolicited messages from operators, but I promise government will take pragmatic steps to stop this,” the Minister said.

Of course they will deny it and blame it on the operators and the operators will blame the NCC hoping ro toss poor nigerians around its not like Nigerians will do anything anyway.

If they increase data tariff they will be cutting their patronage because everyone will just shift to cheat codes. So, who will be losing then? Nigeria being a resource loaded state, in this case oil, will never be welcoming to taxes in any form. Government needs to be accountable first before they can hold people accountable to performing their civic duties.

Re: We Never Ordered Operators To Raise Data Prices—fg by Forwetinnah: 7:49pm On Nov 30, 2016
....so who did? The kind of nuisances running this country..they never know anything. So NCC will just sit down and okay tariff increase without anyone's consent?. Bunch of unrepentant liars, now that their silly plans to fleece poor Nigerians have been exposed, they're claiming ignorance

Never seen a dirty looking and incompetent Minister as this scrubby looking man called Shittu .

Wonder a daft like him should me made minister of communication of all ministries .

Indeed this data increase is unheard of and incomprehensible.

Doubt if the minister understands his job as a regulator ?

As a regulator in that industry he is expected to protect the Consumers from the Shylock Operators by ensuring competition the is health and not cartel formation, which is what the daft is promoting .
