Airtel Nigeria Increases Tariffs; Updated New Call and Data Rates Here
Airtel Nigeria, the country’s second-largest telecom operator, has revised its data pricing structure, implementing a tariff adjustment of up to 50 per cent, according to details published on its website on Monday.
The price revision, which affects various data bundles, aligns with ongoing industry concerns over escalating operational costs.
While the company has yet to issue an official statement, the move underscores the broader push among telecom operators for a tariff review to cushion the impact of inflation and forex volatility.
Beyond data adjustments, the operator with over 56 million subscribers had also increased voice call tariffs over the weekend.
“Yes, we have updated data prices today, and they are available on our website. However, the increase is not up to 50 percent,” the official clarified.
In its revised price list, Airtel assured customers of continued affordability, stating, “Whatever your data needs are, we have a plan for you. Our fast, affordable, and reliable internet experience will keep you connected anytime, anywhere.”

3GB for N2,000 (formerly 1.5GB at N1,200), 4GB for N2,500 (previously 3GB at N1,500), and 8GB for N3,000 (formerly 4.5GB at N2,000).
Other adjustments include 10GB for N4,000 (formerly 6GB at N2,500), 13GB for N5,000 (from 10GB at N3,000), 18GB for N6,000 (formerly 15GB at N4,000), and 25GB for N8,000 (previously 18GB at N5,000).
In addition to data price adjustments, Airtel’s call rates have risen to 25 kobo per second from about 18 kobo per second.
However, some tariff plans remain unchanged, such as the 5GB weekly plan for N1,500.
The revised pricing, implemented over the past week, has seen customers paying more for calls, SMS, and internet usage.
The latest increases come as telecom operators grapple with inflation, foreign exchange volatility, and the rising cost of network expansion.
While the adjustments aim to support long-term service improvements, subscribers may face increased financial pressure as communication costs rise.
