Nigeria’s largest telecommunications operator, MTN Nigeria has reconnected 3.4 million subscribers that were disconnected in August following directive of the Nigerian Communications Commission.
Report on the group’s third quarter results indicated that the 3.4 million subscribers were part of the 5.1 million disconnected subscribers at the end of August 2015.
The telecoms firm reported that while management continued to engage with the regulator, performance was impacted by ongoing regulatory restrictions in the country.
“Data revenue growth was impacted by a steep decline in data tariffs as a result of aggressive competition. The effective data tariff declined almost 60 per cent yearly”, the Group said.
