The Federal Government has instructed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) reduce the price of data bundles for affordability to Nigerians.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Pantami gave the directive on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to other stakeholders in the communications industry.

Pantami noted that his office has received endless complaints from concerned Nigerians about the high cost of data by telecommunications companies.

” I am urging the management of NCC to work towards reducing the price of data in Nigeria. It is too costly and people are complaining every day.

“If you go to other countries, even countries that are not as largely populated as Nigeria, data prices are not this high.

“I am also a victim of some of the infractions that are so common in the industry. You load your data, but you barely used 20 percent of it and the entire data is wiped off,” he said.
