So far in 2019, the company has maintained by controlling 41% of the total market share.

Growth prospect as MTN target increasing market dominance: Nigeria is one of MTN Group’s largest markets in the world. Therefore, the listing on the NSE is part of the company’s strategy to spur growth and further improve its market dominance. The CEO stated further:

“Nigeria is one of the largest markets within MTN’s portfolio and central to the company’s growth strategy. The upcoming listing is a key milestone for the MTN group and is part of its commitment to localisation in the markets in which it operates.”
