The Nigerian Communications Commission got a letter from the telecommunication operators demanding for tariff adjustment over two months ago.
In that letter, they insisted that the best way to sustain growth in the telecom sector in this economic headwind is to adjust tariff to reflect operation cost.
The telcos made their reasons clear at a special reception hosted by the industry players under the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, ATCON, in Lagos.
ATCON President, Mr. Tony Izuagbe Emoekpere, emphasised the association’s commitment to working with the NCC.
’We pledge to continue to work with the Commission as we have done in the past.’ said Tony.
The Telcos have again appealed to the regulator to understand that yielding to their demand will not only arrest the prevalent loss of revenues among the telcos but also steady the sector towards sustaining its appreciable contribution to the growth of gross domestic product, GDP.
He highlighted ATCON’s long standing role in representing industry interests and facilitating dialogue between regulators and operators.
