NCC Issues Directive to Simplify Telecom Tariff Plans and Promotions

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced a significant move aimed at enhancing transparency and clarity in the telecommunications sector. On July 29, 2024, the NCC issued a directive titled “Guidance on the Simplification of Tariffs in the Nigerian Communications Sector,” mandating telecommunications operators to simplify their tariff plans, bundles, and promotional activities.

The directive’s primary objective is to enhance transparency, promote fair competition by simplifying tariff structures, and ensure that subscribers have access to clear, easy-to-understand, and accurate information regarding the costs associated with voice, short messaging service (SMS), and data services. This initiative is a result of extensive consultations with industry stakeholders, including Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Consumer Focus Groups, and in-depth data analysis of consumer preferences and expectations.
