Few days after MTN Nigeria adjusted its data and call tariffs, Airtel Nigeria, the country’s second-largest telecom operator, has also revised its data pricing structure and implemented tariff adjustments, according to details published on its website.
The price revision affects various data bundles and reflects ongoing industry concerns over rising operational costs. While Airtel has yet to release an official statement, the adjustment highlights the broader push among telecom operators for tariff reviews to mitigate the impact of inflation and forex fluctuations.
In addition to data price adjustments, Airtel, which has over 56 million subscribers, also increased voice call tariffs over the weekend.
A senior company official told journalists on Monday that the increase was “not up to 50 per cent”.
Despite the adjustments, Airtel reassured customers of its commitment to affordability, stating, “Whatever your data needs are, we have a plan for you. Our fast, affordable, and reliable internet service will keep you connected anytime, anywhere. To get started, dial *312#.”
