It said unminimised applications running in the background, among other factors, were responsible for the rapid exhaustion of data on their devices.

Terry Igho, an official of Multinz Communications Company, said MTN had planned the sensitisation in phases to reach traders, students and high-value segments of society.

Igho stated, “We are here to just educate people on how their data is being dispensed. That it is actually being used by them and nobody is actually scraping it. That is basically what it is about.

“So we are basically organising this as an educational series for different calibre of users. We have market segments which are called Data Truth. We have high value and for students, which is Data on Trial.

“A lot of us feel that once we close our phone, we are not pressing it, it means we are not using our data. But there are apps that run in the background and use data.

“A lot of people don’t even close apps they used even after they are done. So those are the things that sap your data.”

Igho further explained that, in a bid to earn more, content creators were posting heavy videos that consume large amounts of data during streaming.

He added that changes in time, technology and gadgets had also affected the rate at which data is consumed.

“Creators want to earn from their content, so they go for high-quality videos. So the data used to stream those quality videos is different from the data used to stream lower-quality videos.
