Breaking: Telecom Price Hike Triggers Protest Threat

The planned increase in telecom tariffs has drawn the ire of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which is now threatening nationwide protests.

Industry sources suggest that leading telecom operators, citing rising operational costs, may soon adjust pricing for voice calls, SMS, and data services. However, the NLC has vowed to resist any increase, arguing that Nigerians are already struggling with inflation and economic hardships.

Labour’s Response

  • The NLC is mobilizing workers and activists for mass action.
  • Calls for the government to intervene and stop telecom firms from implementing new charges.

The coming weeks will determine whether telecom operators proceed with the tariff hike or bow to public pressure.
