The recent 50 percent tarrif increment by telecommunication service providers has attracted the attention of the Alawe of Ilawe -Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Ajibade Alabi, AFUNTADE 1, stressing that the service providers should match their costs with good services.
Reacting to the issue in his palace, Oba Alabi frowned at the poor services being rendered to his community by one of the telecommunication giants, MTN, for over a month now which prompted the Monarch to personally signed two letters on behalf of his community, Ilawe-Ekiti to the MTN to rectify the horrible situation. It is quite surprising and most disappointing that the problem still persists up to date.
Oba Alabi, a former Chairman of the Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers, observed that many communities in Nigeria could be agonizing under the same poor services being rendered by MTN to his people asking: what is the justification for tarrif Increase for poor services?
He said “no one would quarrel with any company who asks for more money when providing fantastic services to customers but it will be an extortion to increase tarrif for poor services”.
The Monach therefore appealed to MTN to improve it’s services in his domain and further called on the National Communication Commission( NCC) to intervene in the poor services being rendered by the MTN to Ilawe-Ekiti, the third most populous town in Ekiti State.
