N1.04trn Fine: We Expect No Operation Disruptions For Not Paying Fine —MTN by Realdeals(m): 8:44am On Jan 01, 2016 |
…as NCC threatens fresh action Monday By Prince Osuagwu MTN Nigeria has said it did not expect any service disruption on its network as deadline for payment of N1.04 trillion fine, later reduced to N780 billion by the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, expired yesterday. The fine, which according to NCC, was against the inability of MTN to disconnect about 5.1 million subscribers allegedly not properly registered on its network in August and September 2015, was meant to be paid on or before December 31, 2015. However, the Commission, also yesterday, said it would take fresh decision Monday, after confirming that MTN did not pay the N780 billion fine before the close of work on deadline day, December 31, 2015. A reliable source at the Commission, said: “I can confirm to you that MTN did not pay the fine before close of work today (yesterday) and so the Commission will take a fresh decision on the issue Monday. “The telecom operator actually went to court to challenge the fine and the Federal Government has also lined up very respectable lawyers, who also counter-sued the company. “Both cases did not invalidate the fine, which means that MTN should have honoured the payment deadline. But having not done so, we are going to come up with a new decision on the fine by Monday.” Reacting, MTN Nigeria’s External Relations Manager, Mr. Funso Aina said that “when a case is in court, there is a limit to the comments that could be made, suffice it to say that based on the lis pendens rule (pending legal action) all parties are enjoined to restrain from taking further action until the matter is finally determined. “Notwithstanding the lawsuit, we will continue to engage with the Nigerian Authorities to try and ensure an amicable resolution in the best interests of the company, its stakeholders and the Nigerian authorities. We urge our customers not to panic as we do not envisage any disruption to our operations.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/n1-04trn-fine-we-expect-no-operation-disruptions-for-not-paying-fine-mtn/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Where is that pathetic boko haram Minister? Today is 1st Jan., 2016 and many Nigerians including YOU Sir, made sound calls to their love ones. Nigeria did not burn, MTN has not closed shop. MTN will not pay that fine to augment your inabilities to fund common budget. Go and work for your money; no FREE food for a non-innovative government. If you've got no further ideas, distribute cutlasses and hoe to almajiris, especially the sai baba crew and let everybody go and FARM. Refusal to reduce that fine to a barest minimum is an evidence of LONG THROAT. We must kill the entitlement and omo-onile crazy mentalities, lest we destroy the youths in the country. 50 Likes 5 Shares |

You can't try this in SA. Even if it demands the courts to sit on Saturday and Sunday to hear the suits, the judiciary in SA would do the needful. Anyway, let's see how it pan out maybe even in the Supreme Court 5 Likes 1 Share |
