Telecom operators to begin direct airtime charges for USSD services from June 18

Starting from June 18 2025 telecom operators in Nigeria will begin charging customers directly for USSD services. This decision was made by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the telecom operators. The move comes after a long-standing dispute between the telecom companies and financial institutions over who should bear the cost of USSD transactions. This new development means that customers will now have to pay for services such as airtime top-ups bill payments and other transactions made through USSD codes. This decision is expected to generate more revenue for the telecom companies and reduce the burden on financial institutions.

Fuel price: Fear grips petroleum product stakeholders as Dangote Refinery pushes for monopoly

There is growing concern among petroleum product stakeholders as the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria pushes for a monopoly in the fuel market. The refinery owned by Africas richest man Aliko Dangote is set to become the largest in Africa and is expected to produce 650000 barrels of fuel per day. This could potentially give the refinery a dominant position in the market leading to fears of higher fuel prices and limited competition. Some experts believe that this move could lead to a monopoly in the industry and have negative effects on consumers and smaller players in the market.

The actor who had high hopes for Tinubu as a potential "messiah" for the country went all out to campaign for him but was left with nothing in return.

He revealed that he and other supporters were promised positions and rewards for their efforts but nothing has materialized.

Oosas statement highlights the common practice of politicians making empty promises and using people for their own gain.

It serves as a cautionary tale for individuals who may blindly support political figures without considering their own interests.

Telecom operators to begin direct airtime charges for USSD services from June 18

Starting from June 18 2025 telecom operators in Nigeria will begin charging customers directly for USSD services.

This decision was made by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the telecom operators.

The move comes after a long-standing dispute between the telecom companies and financial institutions over who should bear the cost of USSD transactions.

This new development means that customers will now have to pay for services such as airtime top-ups bill payments and other transactions made through USSD codes.

This decision is expected to generate more revenue for the telecom companies and reduce the burden on financial institutions.
