@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank Nigerian banks proposed to telecom companies to charge customers directly for USSD services, a memo seen by TheCable has revealed. bit.ly/2o7ztqz via @thecableng
@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank This seems to contradict the public denial by bank CEOs on Monday.
They said the decision “on whether, and what amount, to charge a customer for accessing USSD is entirely that of the telco company, in the same way a customer is billed for calls, SMS and data”.
