  • SERAP has filed a lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu over the recent 50% telecom tariff hike approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

  • The tariff hike will increase the average price of calls to N16.5 per minute from N11, 1GB of data to N431.25 from N287.5/GB, and SMS prices to N6 from N4.

  • SERAP is seeking a declaration that the NCC’s decision is arbitrary, unfair, and unconstitutional.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has taken President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to court over the recent 50% telecom tariff hike.

The lawsuit, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenges the “arbitrary, unconstitutional, unlawful, unfair, and unreasonable” decision to increase telecom tariffs.

According to SERAP, the tariff hike will have a disproportionate impact on citizens’ freedom of expression and access to information.
