BUSINESS/CRIME NEWS: MTN Bows to Pressure, Finally Agrees to Pay $5.2 billion Fine

Edeson Online News can authoritatively report that mobile telecommunication company MTN has bowed to pressure and agreed to pay $5.2 billion (N1.4 trillion) fine slammed on them by Nigerian Communications Commission for disobeying to de-activate SIM cards that have not been registered as directed. We also gathered that MTN pleaded with Federal Government of Nigeria to pay the huge sum of money in installment to make it easier for them.

Who cares? After all we all pay for the service we don't enjoy or receive.

@prog: to be sincere i love MTN tarrif plans and they have the largest customer database in Nigeria. as the saying goes. "NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE" i empathise with them at this moment. nobody loves unforeseen loses in business

Yeah. Their tariff plans of late is fair but I bet you the pain is always personal when they start with their fuckups.

Endy Edeson, this is not a case of unforeseen lose.. they deliberately instigated the lose by themselves, because its been a long time the NCC started campaigning for Sim reintegration am even surprised to hear they still have unregistered Sims out there
