Urgent Appeal: Request to Address Data Price Increase Amid Poor Network Services -By Abdullahi Adda’u Turawa
I understand the challenges your office faces in regulating the sector, but I believe that your leadership can make a significant difference in resolving this issue. Your intervention is crucial in fostering a digital environment that is accessible, affordable, and conducive to the development of our nation.
Dear Dr. Bosun Tijjani,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of Nigeria to express my deep apprehension regarding the recent increase in data prices by telecommunication companies in our country.
In recent times, the quality of network services provided by these companies has deteriorated significantly, leading to frequent disruptions and an overall unsatisfactory user experience. These issues have made it increasingly challenging for Nigerians to access essential online services, education, and business activities, especially in light of the ongoing economic challenges our nation faces.
The recent decision by these telecommunication companies to raise data prices is a cause for grave concern. At a time when the citizens of our great nation are grappling with the adverse effects of inflation and a struggling economy, this price hike places an additional burden on the shoulders of ordinary Nigerians.
I kindly request your intervention in this matter to ensure that these telecommunication companies are held accountable for the quality of their services and their pricing strategies. It is essential that our government takes proactive steps to protect the interests of its citizens, especially in this trying economic situation.
I implore you to consider the welfare of Nigerians who rely on affordable and reliable internet services for their daily activities. We, the citizens, look to your esteemed office to provide guidance and oversight in order to prevent undue hardship and to ensure that the telecom industry operates in a manner that aligns with the best interests of the people.
I understand the challenges your office faces in regulating the sector, but I believe that your leadership can make a significant difference in resolving this issue. Your intervention is crucial in fostering a digital environment that is accessible, affordable, and conducive to the development of our nation.
I look forward to hearing of the steps taken to address this pressing concern and assure you of the support of the Nigerian populace in your endeavors to create a digital economy that serves the best interests of all.
Thank you for your time, attention, and dedication to the betterment of our beloved Nigeria.
