Minister seeks reduction in call, data tariff - The Nation Nigeria

A British telecom firm, Vodafone had, in the wake of the pandemic, offered a 30-day free unlimited mobile data to half a million of its pay monthly customers.

The telecoms firms, however, said they have been supportimng the nation and first responders as they tackle the menace of COVID-19.

And they should not use this reason to compromise on quality.

Government are holding the ministry of power and they can not reduced tarrif or improve the service. But want to increase price of tarrif on poor service. Shame.

Govt. Has not done well for not providing electricity for people and private investors We the subscribers is the major stakeholders who can ask for reduced tarrif on Datta and calls. government is just playing to the gallary. They have nothing to offer.

Sham

Only the NCN can effect the change or mandate it, any other person is pack of gibberish.

Are they ready to effect it, even they try to do vat will be used as the net to catch our penny in thousands, same pattern of insensitivity

we have FOOLS in govt. The future..... smh!

Urging is a plea and that's not what will make them act. Give a definite order and timeline.

A slash should be ORDERED as a matter of national urgency and importance. Do you have to beg them to make things easier for humanity?

Since, your ministry is talking about call/data cause and citizen are suffering about the cause of data/call but no any action is taken we don't know what you are doing joh

Instead of the useless SMS they're giving us! Who still uses SMS? If not banks and network providers themselves!

Good..

An honorable minister pleading telcoms to reduce the cost of data and calls in a time like this portrays the ills of the current government.

Not urge, but order them too. Or sanction them. This is what they have to do for us.

....most of our data and calls are mainly for social purpose

Smh. It is just like Government urging Nigerians not to be hungry while they are locked down at home. Useless

Everything is AUDIO in this country

AirtelNigeria

It's a welcome idea, some countries make local calls almost free. And data as cheap as sachet water.

I pray they accept this because mtn is not even friendly at the moment in term of data deduction(Sucking).

Well said sir, but I pray they will adhere to it

Very important, they need to do something to help in this period
