MTN is listing its shares as part of the conditions of settling a fine imposed on it by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for failing to deactivate improperly registered sim cards. The NCC initially fined MTN N1.04 trillion, but later reduced the fine to N330 billion after diplomatic intervention  by South African President Jacob Zuma.  In addition, the company was mandated to tender an unreserved apology to the Nigerian people and list its shares on the NSE. The planned listing is a major deal as it will increase the market capitalization of the stock exchange, and enhance its visibility.

The MTN Group was founded in South Africa in 1994 and currently operates in 22 countries, while MTN Nigeria founded in 2001, was among the first four companies to win a GSM licence in the country for which it paid $285 million. The company currently has over 60 million subscribers making it the largest telecoms operator in the country.
