MTN Nigeria Shuts Down Till Further Notice by dipoolowoo: 11:04am On Sep 04, 2019 |
By Modupe Gbadeyanka The management of MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has announced the closure of all its stores and centres across the country over the xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The telecommunications giant, in a statement issued to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), stated that it decided to shut down its stores because of retaliatory attack on its facilities in Nigeria. In the statement, MTN Nigeria confirmed that its facilities in Lagos, Ibadan (Oyo State) and Uyo (Akwa-Ibom State) were touched by some angry Nigerians, who were not happy with violent attacks on Nigerians in South Africa. “MTN Nigeria Communications Plc (MTN) confirms that over the last day our facilities, customers and some of our stakeholders have been the subject of attacks in retaliation for the ongoing xenophobia situation in South Africa. We have confirmed reports of attacks in Lagos, Ibadan and Uyo,” the statement said. It said further that, “While we remain committed to providing uninterrupted services, the safety and security of our customers, staff and partners is our primary concern.” “All MTN stores and service centres will therefore be closed as a precaution until further notice,” MTN Nigeria declared in the statement. Commenting further, MTN Nigeria said it “condemns any acts of violence, prejudice and xenophobia and remains absolutely committed to ensuring a peaceful, harmonious and respectful relationship with all communities in Nigeria, and across Africa.” “We are engaging all relevant authorities in this regard and urge them to act swiftly to reduce tensions both in South Africa and Nigeria. We will provide further updates as and when possible,” the firm said. https://businesspost.ng/2019/09/04/mtn-nigeria-shuts-down-till-further-notice/ |

If Nigerians aren’t able to replicate the MTN modle indigenously, find investors elsewhere in the world that are able -stay away from Indians... any other people will do. Nigerians don't want to find themselves in a future situation of NEEDS because of the secrete plotting today of South African enterprises to sell up and move out. 1 Like |

So now those fools saying MTN is the best and only network they can use will be forced to port to other networks. Isolated ppl always feel they have no option to choose from. |

Re: MTN Nigeria Shuts Down Till Further Notice by 2cul2care: 2:03pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
but Nigerians are going about this the wrong way, instead of attacking MTN, they should have attacked DSTV, one of the biggest fraud in nigeria today, after NEPA OR PHCN, NA DSTV FROM MULTICOICE FOLLOW, billing Nigerians thousands of Naira, while they charge peanuts for their services in other African countries. Although the owner is a Nigerian based in southafrica or so I heard. na DSTV gangan we suppose force to commot for naija, they are eating our money, monopolising US and they don't give a damn all of our complaints have fallen on deaf ears. |
