The Nigeria Senate on Tuesday rose in condemnation of poor services rendered by GSM network operators in the country.

In a motion sponsored by Senator Andy Uba (APC), representing Anambra South Senatorial district, he expressed concern over increasing rate of dropped calls and other unwholesome practices, saying GSM operators in Nigeria have robbed Nigerians in billions of naira.

Explaining experiences of poor services, Uba said, “Nigerians encountered incomprehensible speech and voice quality that sounds like speaking from the bottom of a fish tank.”

He was emphatic that GSM operators were reaping billions from subscribers for services not provided.

Uba’s motion also pointed that it was wrong for subscribers to be charged per minute which he said had given undue advantage to operators as they ended up charging the whole minute if they were drop calls.

He further maintained that GSM operators were recalcitrant to the regulatory body’s directives in the past, hence, he urged the upper chamber to prevail on service providers to refund for disrupted calls henceforth.

Part of the prayers sustained was the directive that Nigeria Communications Commission and other relevant agencies should investigate the causes of dropped calls and see to improving on it.

How can MTN increase goodybag from 60 naira to 150?

Honestly, MTN network signals has been so horribly poor these past few months.

Ncc should sanction themself for poor, terrible service.

They fixed data and call rates for telecoms (I don't know where that is done in 21st century)

They collect fines/bribe and embezzled them while networks go on rampage acting like gods.


Scrap ncc. They are totally useless.

I swear they should be sanctioned. MTN and GLO should be hit harder.

About time. No room for mediocrity!!!!

In fact sanction everybody, senate, ncc, glo. Una father.

They forced these networks to increase data prices.

The Senate must be stupid for that.
The clown Senate should please tell nigerians the followings;
1. What infrastructure has improved in the last 17 years.
2. Why the Naira was devalued by more than 70%.

Please abeg, 20GB should be N1,000

that will be so cool

MTN has dwelt with me so bad , paid for data and wasn't browsing at all
