Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

MTN Group has revealed that it in talks with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in a bid to review the N1.04tr fine slammed against it to N208bn while it liaises with the Nigerian banking sector for loans to offset the huge fine.

The head of research, Renaissance Capital (RenCap) in Nigeria, Adesoji Solanke, revealed this in his note to clients on Wednesday.

“MTN is pushing to reduce the fine by 60 to 80 percent,” Bloomberg quoted Solanke to have said. According to Bloomberg, a second lender said that “MTN is considering borrowing from banks, as it recently checked what the banks’ lending capacity to it is”.

MTN has 11 more days to its November 16 deadline for paying up the biggest fine in the history of telecommunications in Nigeria.
