“We could share several reasons and provide explanations, but omo, all that one na story. We don cast. We get it and admit it. Let’s just say na mistake.

“In this love season, don’t stay angry with us. Please forgive and forget. You matter die and we will never stop showing you how much,” the statement said.

However, in protest against the hike, Nigeria Labour Congress on Wednesday called on its members and Nigerians to boycott the services of the telecoms as from March I.
