The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) says it is working to address and implement a federal government directive on the challenges of illegal data theft and to audit data costs in the country.

NCC plans to review the cost of data subscription from N1,000 to N390 per gigabyte.

Speaking to journalists in Kano on Saturday, Mr Danbatta disclosed that part of the plan was the new national broadband plan for the year 2020-2025, which says Nigeria must provide broadband connectivity, cover virtually all parts of the country and deploy 4G infrastructure also across the country.

According to him, the ministry was tasked to come up with a digital economy policy and strategies, adding that all the efforts put in place are intended to bring the cost of data down to N390 as against the N1,000 that Mobile Network Operators, MNOs, are charging. “Actually the cost has come down to N1,000/gigabyte of data, but the government is saying that we should be targeting N390 in the next 3 to 5 years. 

To achieve subsidized data cost, according to Mr Dambatta, the country must provide pervasive broadband data infrastructure.

I know some of the networks already offers N300 for 1 GB data plans but it is only meant for one day. The question is how long will the data last, and will it zap like others or not?
