Minister of Communications, Adebayo
Shittu is debunking claims that he sanctioned or opposed the increase of price
of data by telecommunication companies in the country.
Shittu made this known while
answering questions from journalists in Oyo state, saying the Nigerian
Communications Commission has the prerogative power under the law to do so.
He said the issue was suspended over
some issues but stated that it was resuscitated because of the current economic
recession, which he said is taking toll on the finances of the telecommunications
companies.
He however urged Nigerians to come up with the
reality that the companies are profit making venture, as he appealed for mutual
understanding from Nigerians, operators and the Nigerian Communications Commission
in reaching an understandable conclusion on the matter.
