MTN Pays N235bn Fine For SIM Registration Offences

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday said MTN Nigeria Communications Limited had paid a total of N235 billion out of the N330 billion fine it imposed on the mobile telecommunications operator in August 2015. 

Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, confirmed this in an interview with journalists in Abuja on the sidelines of a valedictory press briefing by the Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu. Danbatta said due to the major industry dispute, Nigerians now have the opportunity to own part of the mobile telecommunications network following the public listing of the company at the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) last Thursday. 

The NCC boss said, “We have succeeded in empowering Nigerians to own, control and manage one of the dominant telecommunication companies in the country by MTN listing in the Nigerian Stock Exchange.”
