The outline was issued on Saturday, but the commission confirmed that the document did not mention approval for a tariff hike.
The commission’s Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, Dr Aminu Maida, described the claims as “fake news” on his official X handle (formerly Twitter).
“Like the others, this is fake news! The commission has neither approved any telecom tariff plans nor hiked (them) as this report claims,” he tweeted.
Another separate statement from the commission read, “NCC has neither approved any new telecom tariff plans nor hikes as reported online. The public is advised to please disregard.
“NCC issued a directive for all operators to simplify their current tariff plans transparently and fairly for consumers.”
