The Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) is about to implement the Section 24 of Cybercrime Act 2015, and if this happens the prices for data bundle and calls will be increased.


Professor Umar Danbatta, who is now the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC made the disclosure on Thursday during his induction as a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Engineering (NAE).

The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta has confirmed that the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) is preparing a data price list which will be released soon

If the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act 2015 are eventually implemented, it won't be funny at all because we'll be paying up to 4 times more than what we're paying now for monthly data. We’ll likely be getting 250MB for N1000 with 30 days validity and 10MB data plan at N100 to last you for a day, while calls may be charged at 1naira/sec.....�� why

The new price may not correspond exactly with the one stated above, but what is sure is that it'll increase and you shouldn't expect anything cheaper than what you're currently paying for data subscription. We've seen so many weird steps the government in some African countries use to regulate internet usage; like the Ugandans who pay tax of 200 Uganda shillings daily just to access social media , and many other crazy stuffs like that.

Looking at this, it seems Nigeria is also heading to that direction, and despite the recent complaints by subscribers that data bundles are expensive, the NCC wants to put more burden by further increasing the prices of data bundle and call.
