The Nigerian Communications Commission<\/a> (NCC) has put in place an initiative seeking to limit and simplify the tariff plans of telecom operators<\/a> as a way to enhancing transparency and ensuring a consumer-friendly telecom landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NCC Director of Consumer Affairs Bureau, Ikechukwu Adinde, made the disclosure during a two-day upskilling on trends in telecom industry<\/a> recently for media stakeholders in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Adinde highlighted the complexities within the current tariff system. He said the abundance of promotional elements and plan add-ons often leaves consumers overwhelmed and unable to select plans that best suit their needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to streamline options, allowing consumers to clearly understand and compare what is available. With fewer choices, people can make informed decisions with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCC data shows the extent of the challenge; one network currently has 14 voice plans and 145 data plans, while another has 27 voice plans and 41 data plans.<\/p>\n

“By reducing these options, NCC seeks to simplify the market and enhance consumer satisfaction. The initiative also aims to tackle data depletion concerns,\u201d Adinde said.<\/p>\n

The NCC Director encouraged consumers to actively monitor their data usage. He explained that the educational campaigns and online resources of the Commission has provided guidance on data management and optimisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough publishing approved tariff plans on our website and providing data usage tips, we are dedicated to improving consumer awareness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

With this tariff simplification, the NCC anticipates a more consumer-friendly telecom landscape, prioritising transparency and ease of use for Nigerians navigating data and voice options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
