Two days after shutting the doors of its offices across Nigeria over reprisal attack from protesting Nigerians, MTN Nigeria has set a new date for resumption of work by its staff. The network provider’s centers had been attacked in Lagos, Ibadan and Uyo this week.

Although the closure of the offices didn’t affect the service of MTN Nigeria, Nairametrics learnt that management of the telecommunication company were told to resume. MTN Nigeria directed its Managers and some senior staff to resume their duties today, September 6, 2019.

MTN Nigeria had informed the public and its stakeholders of its decision to close its stores and centers across Nigeria on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, in a statement sent to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The company said, while it remained committed to providing uninterrupted services, the safety and security of our customers, staff and partners is our primary concern. So, all MTN stores and service centers will, therefore, be closed as a precaution until further notice.
