A pan-African students’ movement, Progressive Students Movement (PSM), has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and telecom companies to reverse the recent 50% hike in tariffs.
Delivering the ultimatum on Tuesday, PSM described the 50% tariff increment as “unjustifiable, untimely, and insensitive,” rejecting it outright and labelling it an “anti-masses increment.”
PSM President, Bestman Okereafor, in a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu, called for an immediate review and reversal of the increment.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of PSM has been drawn to NCC’s approval of telecom operators’ 50% tariff increment.
“It will be recalled that telecom operators had previously demanded an adjustment to their tariff rates, a request which many Nigerians, especially Nigerian students, opposed.”
