MTN, Airtel, and Glo Increase Data Prices by 50% in Nigeria: Full List of New Rates

Nigerians have been hit with a 50% increase in mobile data prices as major telecom operators—MTN, Airtel, and Glo—adjust their tariffs. This price hike, which took effect in February 2025, has sparked widespread concern among consumers, many of whom rely on affordable internet for work, education, and entertainment.

Why Have Data Prices Increased?

The rise in data costs has been attributed to several factors, including the increasing cost of foreign exchange, high inflation, and growing operational expenses in the telecommunications sector. Telecom operators have also cited the need for network expansion and maintenance as reasons for the price adjustment.

While there is no immediate plan for a rollback, telecom operators may introduce promotional offers to cushion the impact on consumers. Users are advised to monitor their data usage, explore alternative plans, and take advantage of bonuses and discounts provided by their network providers.
