IgbereTV recalls that a five day ultimatum was issued by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, to the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) on the 5th of November 2019, to resolve the challenges of illegal data deductions and review the cost of data downward.
According to findings by IgbereTV, the commission has commenced the implementation.
