Telecoms Clinic@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

Hidden fees, volatile exchange rates, and silent deductions are inflating Nigeria’s digital payments. “Unseen Charges Behind Digital Payments in Nigeria” by REMMY NWEKE in this edition of Telecoms Clinic@ITREALMS exposes how convenience quietly costs consumers more than advertised.

Barely a week after Chuks received a worried phone call from one of his sons, he found himself entangled in the same web of confusion. His son, a university student, had recently purchased a prescribed textbook online. The listed price on the departmental website was around ₦8,000. It seemed straightforward. But moments after completing the payment, the boy’s ₦20,000 account balance had shrunk to just ₦4,000.

Startled, he called his father. Chuks assumed it was a minor mistake, perhaps a duplicate charge or a delayed bank reversal. He advised his son to wait a day and see if the money would be restored. But the refund never came.
