Telecommunications operators in Nigeria have announced that beginning Wednesday, June 18, 2025, mobile subscribers in the country will begin to pay directly for USSD services through their airtime.
This marks the formal migration to the End-User Billing (EUB) model, in line with a new directive from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The announcement by the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) overrides the earlier notice issued by some banks earlier this month, claiming that the deduction would start on June 3.
