Renowned professor, entrepreneur, and investor Ndubuisi Ekekwe has weighed in on the escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, warning of potential global economic shifts as a result of U.S. tariff policies.

 Telecom industry stakeholders have urged a balanced approach to the recently approved tariff adjustment by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), emphasizing the need to sustain operations while minimizing the financial burden on consumers.

Speaking on behalf of industry players, the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) and other key stakeholders acknowledged the economic realities necessitating the tariff review. They highlighted the mounting operational costs driven by inflation, foreign exchange instability, and rising energy prices, which have put immense pressure on service providers.

“The telecom sector is facing unprecedented financial strain, with the cost of network maintenance, equipment procurement, and power generation increasing exponentially. Without adjustments, operators will struggle to maintain service quality and expand network infrastructure,” a senior industry executive stated.

By Reshmi Theckethil, Lead Portfolio, Climate Action, Disaster Risk Reduction, Energy, and Resilience | Sahel Resilience Project Manager, UNDP Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (www.UNDP.org). 

 

Imagine a Sahel region where every household, school, and hospital has access to clean, affordable energy—where renewable power not only serves homes but also drives economic transformation. Given the region’s rich solar, wind, and hydro resources, this vision is achievable.

Currently, over 55% of energy production is dominated by fossil fuels like oil and gas, while renewable sources remain marginal.
