Relief for Millions as FG Revokes 5% Telecom Tax on Voice and Data Services

The Federal Government has officially scrapped the 5% excise duty on telecommunications services, including voice calls and data subscriptions, in a move aimed at easing the financial burden on Nigerians.

The National Orientation Agency disclosed the development in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, citing confirmation from the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida. According to Maida, President Bola Tinubu ordered the removal of the tax during discussions on the recently passed Finance Act.

The NCC boss emphasized that the decision will bring relief to over 171 million active telecom users across the country, many of whom have endured a 50% tariff hike earlier this year. He added that the President’s intervention was necessary to prevent further financial strain on citizens while boosting Nigeria’s digital economy.

The excise duty, first introduced under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022, was heavily criticized by telecom operators and consumer rights groups, who warned that it would worsen the cost of living. The Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) previously described the levy as counterproductive, stressing that Nigeria already carried one of the heaviest tax burdens in the telecom sector across sub-Saharan Africa.

With the scrapping of the levy, millions of subscribers are expected to see some relief in the cost of accessing mobile services, a move widely welcomed by industry stakeholders.

Tinubu Orders FEC Committee to Crash Soaring Food Prices Nationwide

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Federal Executive Council (FEC) committee on agriculture to urgently implement measures aimed at reducing the skyrocketing prices of food across Nigeria.

The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja during a capacity-building workshop for Senate correspondents.

According to him, the President’s order focuses on ensuring the safe and unhindered passage of farm produce across major transport routes in order to drastically cut logistics costs that have contributed to food inflation.

> “The President has given a matching order with a federal executive council committee already handling it, on how we are going to promote safe passage of agricultural foods and commodities across our various routes in the country,” Abdullahi stated.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has been grappling with worsening food insecurity since the removal of fuel subsidy, high transport costs, and rising insecurity on highways disrupted the movement of goods. Despite government interventions, millions of Nigerians still struggle to afford basic food items.

To address the crisis, the government is also rolling out a Farmer Soil Health Scheme to boost productivity and a revamped cooperative reform initiative to mobilise resources and empower rural farmers.

Senator Abdullahi stressed that the move aligns with Tinubu’s broader vision of achieving food sovereignty—ensuring not just availability, but also affordability, accessibility, and proper nutrition for citizens.

The workshop themed “Parliamentary Reporting: Issues, Challenges and Responsibilities” also featured Senator Yemi Adaramodu, former presidential aide Senator Ita Enang, and NILDS DG, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman.

Tinubu had earlier in June reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to food security during his Democracy Day speech, insisting that Nigeria must learn to produce and grow most of its food locally as part of his “Nigeria First” economic policy.
