SERAP Gives Tinubu 48 Hours to Reverse 50% Telecom Tariff Hike

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to President Bola Tinubu to reverse the recently approved 50% increase in telecom tariffs, threatening legal action if the demand is not met. The tariff hike, approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), aims to address rising operational costs and improve telecom services. The NCC stated the adjustment aligns with industry reforms and supports investments in infrastructure and innovation. SERAP’s ultimatum highlights concerns over the financial burden on Nigerians amid the rising cost of living.
