yesterday the Executive Vice Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Umar Dambatta, dropped the hint at the flag-off of the NCC Year of Consumer at the Commission’s headquarters.
According to him, Nigerian subscribers spent $5.6 billion in 2015 and $6.6 billion in 2016, amounting to $12.2 billion (N3.6trn) on telecommunications services at an average exchange rate of N300 to $1
This analysis of the amount showed that the N3.66 trillion spent by Nigerians telecoms subscribers is more than half of the 2017 annual budget of N7.298 trillion we need to get out of the rescission.
He also added: “In 2015, Nigerian telecom consumers spent a whooping $5.6 billion on telecommunications services. And in 2016, they topped it up by another $1 billion to make it $6.6 billion.That is why today’s event is remarkable. More remarkable is that the year 2017 is dedicated to the Nigerian Telecom Consumers".
this statistics those not include the illegal dicdualtion Nigerians subscribes face in the hands of this telecommunication company's or number of drop calls we are charged for, but Dambatta noted that the Commission was rolling out new initiatives to achieve high quality of service by the service providers.
