TELCOS THREATEN SERVICE CUTS OVER RISING COSTS

Telecommunications operators in Nigeria have warned that service disruptions are imminent, unless tariffs are adjusted to account for rising operational costs.

In a statement issued by the Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria, Gbenga Adebayo, he described the telecom sector as under siege, citing high operational costs driven by inflation, unstable exchange rates, and rising energy prices.

Adebayo noted that despite these challenges, tariffs have remained unchanged, leaving operators struggling to maintain quality service and expand their networks.
