South African telecoms giant MTN said Friday it would
pay a $1.7 billion fine to the Nigerian government in a “full and final
settlement” over its failure to disconnect unregistered mobile phone
users.
The company said in a statement that “MTN Nigeria has agreed to pay a total cash amount of Naira 330 billion over three years.”Africa’s biggest wireless operator was fined $3.9 billion last year and has since been in negotiations with the government over the payout.
