One of Nigeria’s telecommunications giants, MTN, has tendered an apology to its customers and reversed its 200 per cent tariff increment for the digital bundle plan.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that on Tuesday, MTN commenced the implementation of a 200 per cent tariff hike for its digital data bundle alongside other data plans.
However, on Thursday, the telecommunication announced in a statement via its official X account that the hike contravened the 50 per cent telecom tariff hike approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
