Airtel increases price of data

Amidst outrage from Nigerians following the increase in tariff by MTN Nigeria, network provider, Airtel, has followed suit.

Airtel Nigeria, the country’s second-largest telecom operator, has revised its data pricing structure, implementing a tariff adjustment of up to 50 per cent.

The details were published on its website on Monday.

The price revision, which affects various data bundles, aligns with ongoing industry concerns over escalating operational costs.

Beyond data adjustments, the operator with over 56 million subscribers had also increased voice call tariffs over the weekend.

In its revised price list, Airtel assured customers of continued affordability, stating, “Whatever your data needs are, we have a plan for you. Our fast, affordable, and reliable internet experience will keep you connected anytime, anywhere. To get started, Dial *312#.”

The company is however, yet to issue an official statement, addressing this hike in its tariff.
