The Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria says its members may increase service charges following the hike in telecom tariff.
Ogungbayi Ganiyu, the National Public Relations Officer at AMMBAN, disclosed this in an interview on Monday.
His comments followed the Federal Government’s 50 percent telecommunications services tariff hike approval.
Speaking on development, Ganiyu said AMMBAN members’ businesses are centered around telecom services, especially data, and hence would be most impacted.
He 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.
