    ‘We don cast, we admit’, MTN apologises to customers

     

    Telecom Company, MTN has issued a public apology to its customers in response to widespread dissatisfaction over a sudden 200% increase in the price of its popular 15GB data bundle.

    The price hike, which saw the cost of the 15GB weekly data plan surge from N2,000 to N6,000, caught many subscribers off guard and quickly sparked an outcry on social media.

    The backlash, which began on Wednesday, has drawn significant attention as users expressed their frustration over the steep increase in data costs.

    In an informal message via their social media handle, MTN, acknowledged the frustration of its customers.

    The post reads: “To our 150 digital bundle lovers, You dey vex. We know.

    “We know how upsetting it must have been to suddenly wake up to a 200% increase on your favourite digital bundle.

    “We could share several reasons, and provide explanations, but omo, all that one na story. We don cast. We get it and admit it. Let’s just say na mistake.

    “In this love season, don’t stay angry with us. Please forgive and forget. You matter die and we will never stop showing you how much. Let’s continue our relationship.”

    BREAKING: Nigerians laments as Telco increases data tariff from 2K to 6K

     

    Nigerians have gone on X to lament after they woke up to see that their mobile operators have increased tariffs.

    This realisation caused a number of popular telcos to trend on X.

    X users lamented that an internet bundle that used to be available for N2K for 15GB of data is now N6,000 for the same 15GB of data.

    Nigerians took to X to lament this increase, while pointing out that the economic situation just keeps worsening by the day.

    Recall that in January 2025, the NCC approved a request for tariff adjustment by operators after telcos’ agitation for cost-reflective prices in the face of harsh economic conditions.

    The NCC capped the increase at a maximum of 50% of the current tariffs, though lower than the over 100% requested by some network operators.

    However, the current increase being experienced by users shows that the increase might have exceeded 50% in some cases.
