Pantami said it was in line with the directive he gave to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on that.
‘The average cost of 1GB of data has reduced from the January 2020 cost of N1,000 to N487.18 in November, 2020,’ the minister had said in a statement by his Technical Assistant, Mr Femi Adeluyi.
He had said the reduction was due to the implementation of the Nigerian National Broadband Plan (2020-2025) launched by President Muhammadu Buhari on March 19, 2020.
“One of the goals of the Plan is to reduce the average cost of 1GB of data to a maximum of N390 by 2025.
“Based on the Report by NCC, the average cost of data as at November 2020 was N487.18, which amounts to 47.33% lower than the projected value.
