Senator Ben Bruce of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to fight against the Nigerian Communications Commission order to Telecommunication operators to increase data tariff by December 1. This proposed increase has stirred several comments from youths on social media platforms.

Ben Bruce, who is representing Bayelsa East constituency made this known in his several tweets yesterday.

Ben Bruce in his tweet said that “It is very unjust for people whose fuel, power and GSM plans are paid for by the people to increase fuel, power and GSM plans of the people!

“In my opinion, rather than direct GSM firms to hike rates, NCC should invest in free public wifi for the advancement of knowledge in Nigeria.”

He added that “I will fight against this data in the Senate. The NCC, as a regulator, should be directing that GSM firms reduce and not increase tariffs.”
