Lagos To Charge Telcos Higher on Right-of-Way, Refuses to Adopt FG’s N145 Charge

The Lagos State Government has refused to reduce its charges on Telecom companies for Right-of-Way (RoW) per linear metre of fibre from N1,500 to the Federal Government’s proposed N145.

The Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) maintained that the FG did not issue an executive order but only suggested a standardised charge of N145 per linear metre. The RoW charge was pegged at N145 as part of resolutions during a National Economic Council (NEC) meeting in 2013.

The General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of LASIMRA, Funsho Elulade, has stated that despite certain states reducing their RoW charges in line with the FG’s advisory, Lagos will not follow suit as the business operating costs are much higher in the state.

Recall that, in January, state governors had reportedly reached a unanimous agreement through the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) to reverse the Right of Way (RoW) charges for telcos to N145 per linear metre.

According to reports, the NGF agreed to implement the N145 RoW charge after a meeting in Abuja with the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami. Pantami had subsequently informed telcos to reject any hike in RoW by states, citing the agreement between the ministry and the NGF on N145 per linear metre.

Going by the Lagos State announcement, telcos including MTN and Airtel will continue to pay a RoW charge of N1500 per linear metre of every fibre optic cable laid in the state.

This is despite telcos recently demanding a downward review of the RoW fees. Gbenga Adebayo, Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) told local reporters in June that telcos expect the N145 per linear metre proposed fee for Right of Way charges by the Federal Government to be implemented across all states.

Adebayo explained that telcos still incur additional costs from fibre cuts, stating that the RoW charge in many states is way higher than the cost of deploying an optic fiber per linear meter.

For instance, a fiber cable itself costs about N100 per metre and about N200 to excavate per metre. At a combined N350, this is much less than the N1500 RoW charge telcos pay per metre of fibre in Lagos.
