The move highlights the regulator’s commitment to promoting sustainability and increasing investment in the telecommunications sector for better service delivery, said Mr Dinesh Balsingh, CEO of Airtel Nigeria, who also expressed the company’s gratitude for the decision to permit a tariff increase of up to 50% across services.
“The price increase, which was highly necessary for the survival and continued growth of the industry, will enable us to continue investing in network infrastructure, expanding coverage, and delivering improved products and services that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” he said, adding that “the tariff adjustment reflects a balanced approach to ensuring the sustainability of the telecommunications sector while safeguarding the interests of consumers.”
By providing dependable and reasonably priced telecommunications services, Airtel Nigeria is still dedicated to its goal of closing the digital divide. The company thinks that because of Nigeria’s dynamic population and thriving economy, NCC’s decision fosters innovation and growth, which benefits both the sector and consumers.
Balsingh continued, “We are sure that this development will open the door for even bigger improvements in telecommunications services throughout the nation.”
“Our goal is still to deliver outstanding customer service while supporting the industry’s long-term viability.”
Airtel Nigeria, a subsidiary of Airtel Africa, which has operations in 14 nations on the continent, reaffirms its commitment to the Nigerian market and its important role in influencing the direction of connectivity and digital inclusion in the future.
