Telecom consumers lament tariff hike, poor network, says they only know how to drain data’
Some telecommunication services consumers in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT have urged Mobile Network Operators to improve their services to match the recent hike in their tariffs.
They made the call in separate interviews with NAN on Monday in Abuja.
The subscribers said despite the increase in subscription rates mobile networks could remain epileptic for hours.
The only thing they know is to drain data without any good service delivery. I feel like crying because of a problematic network. I have been receiving server errors since morning.
“To even download and watch a video sent to me since, takes me almost one whole day. “I wonder if members of staff of the service providers are enjoying the service they render to us.
“We cannot make calls, access the internet or even receive calls,’’ he said.
According to him, unfortunately, the network providers put up some of the best adverts about their products and services which they cannot meet.
Mr Victor James, another subscriber said he had enough data but was not able to use it to his satisfaction.
“Why does their data plan not reflect immediately when you buy data? Sometimes it takes as much as 24 hours to reflect.
I am tired of this. The network is really bad. I have enough data but I cannot use it the way I want.
“I hope the issues get resolved as soon as possible so that I can access my data without further delay,” he said.
However, Ms Josephine Tanko, told NAN that she had no problems with her network providers.
“It is fast and reliable. I think it is the network that gives the best internet speed and quality.
“It will always be my best that is why I will always choose it over any other network,” she said.
She called on networks that did not meet their subscriber’s expectations to ensure that they improved their services.
The Kaduna State Police Command has revealed the identity of the man who caused panic after charging towards President Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state.
According to the police, the suspect has been identified as Umar Mohammed, a resident of Anguwan Muazu in Kaduna.
The incident happened during the commissioning of a 300-bed specialist hospital in Millennium City.
As President Tinubu was addressing the audience, Mohammed suddenly broke through the crowd and rushed toward him, triggering a swift response from security operatives.
The moment left Tinubu visibly shocked, as seen in a widely shared video showing his startled reaction and the confusion among his security team.
Police later disclosed that the man has a mental health condition he has lived with since birth.
They described his actions as unplanned and driven by excitement, adding that he was unarmed and posed no real threat after being restrained.
Despite the scare, the event continued as planned.
Governor Uba Sani led the inauguration of the hospital, which is expected to boost healthcare access in Kaduna.
