Commenting on the situation, a 300 level Mass Communication student from a private university, Akeem Ishola said: “You can’t even use 3gig of data to attend a two hours online lecture.”

In the same vein, a businessman named, Mr. Charles Nwanfor disclosed that “prices of everything in the country is on the high side.”

He emphasized that since the major economy of the nation has been affected, it obviously would have an impact on all sector of the economy.
