Senate tells NCC to stop data hike

The Nigerian Senate has directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to immediately stop the recent hike in data prices by telecommunications operators in the country.

The Senate's decision was reached after a motion was moved by Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC-Lagos) on the floor of the Senate, citing the negative impact of the hike on Nigerians, particularly students and small business owners.

According to Senator Tinubu, the hike in data prices has made it difficult for many Nigerians to access the internet, which is essential for education, business, and other aspects of life.

The Senate also urged the NCC to ensure that telecommunications operators provide affordable and reliable internet services to Nigerians.

The NCC has been under pressure to regulate the data pricing in the country, with many Nigerians calling for a reduction in the prices of data services.

The Senate's directive is a significant development in the ongoing debate on data pricing in Nigeria, and it remains to be seen how the NCC will respond to the directive.
