The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has set $0.10 as the new fixed International Termination Rate (ITR) for voice services paid by overseas telecom carriers for ending international calls on local networks in the country.
The new price would take effect from September 1st.
The ITR pertains to the cost of bringing call traffic into Nigeria, and it was increased from the $0.045 initially presented in December last year as a floor price.
It added that international operators were mandated to pay local operations in dollars.
This is according to a document on the Determination of Mobile (Voice) International Termination Rate (As Amended) as of August 25, 2022, which is available on the NCC website.
