New pricing policy spurs over $1 billion investment in telecom infrastructure – NCC

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said its recent decision to return to market-driven pricing has already attracted over $1 billion in fresh infrastructure investments in 2025, just months after the move took effect.

Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Aminu Maida, revealed this on Friday during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos.

According to him, the policy introduced in January and February gave mobile network operators (MNOs) the green light to adjust tariffs by up to 50% after nearly a decade of stagnant pricing.
