Nigerians have taken to different social media platforms to express their dissatisfaction and shock at the unexpected increase.
Popular network service provider, MTN has increased data cost of 15GB weekly plan from N2K to N6K.
The decision has caused serious outrage online.
It means that the weekly data package of 15GB which initially cost N2K only days ago unexpectedly increased to N6K.
Nigerians have taken to social media to slam MTN and the Nigerian government.
Check out some reactions that have been gathered:
@gbolahan2211 said: “Imagine MTN
@MTNNG
increasing their tariff 15gb overnight without prior notice to customers. This is no way to do things man. I even sent them a message and they told me cause they wanna serve me better. Damn!!”
@GIFTy6286 remarked: “If they like they should increase it to 1m,we will survive”
@AfrokonnectNG wrote: “This sudden price increase from ₦2,000 to ₦6,000 for 15GB is wild! How are people supposed to cope with such an outrageous hike? Internet access is essential for work, education, and staying connected, yet it’s being priced like a luxury.
At this rate, users may be forced to look for alternatives or reduce their data consumption drastically. MTN really needs to reconsider this move because it’s not sustainable for the average Nigerian. What do you think about this development?”.
