The Association of Mobile Money & Bank Agents in Nigeria is planning to hike its charges.
This is according to Ogungbayi Ganiyu, the National Public Relations Officer at AMMBAN in a statement on Monday.
His comments followed the Federal Government’s 50 percent telecommunications services tariff hike approval.
Reacting, Ganiyu said AMMBAN members’ businesses are centered around telecom services, especially data, and hence would be most impacted.
He, however, noted that POS operators may want to bear the cost of the increased telecoms tariff.
“The telecom tariff hike will impact the operations of our members. I am afraid this may also have a multiplier effect on service charges.
“We have not sat down and looked at the latest tariff hike,” he stated.
Recall that the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers on Monday vowed to drag the federal government to court over the 50 percent telecoms tariff hike.
Recall that the last time telecoms tariffs were increased was in 2013.
