Nigerians are outraged by MTN’s decision to raise the price of their 15GB weekly data plan from N2,000 to N6,000.
Many people have taken to social media to express their disappointment and surprise at the sudden price hike.
Just days ago, the data package was only N2,000, making the drastic increase to N6,000 even more shocking.

At this rate, users may be forced to look for alternatives or reduce their data consumption drastically. MTN really needs to reconsider this move because it’s not sustainable for the average Nigerian. What do you think about this development?”
@Gorilla23mp asked: “But this is almost 200% increment, I thought they said it won’t be up to 100%?”
