MTN Lines Barred, Sparking Subscriber Outrage
MTN has announced a barring of lines for some subscribers today, reportedly affecting those who have not updated their National Identity Number (NIN) as mandated by regulatory standards.
The telecommunications giant has advised impacted customers to visit service centers or use the online platform to update their details and restore service.
The move is part of MTN’s effort to comply with regulatory guidelines aimed at maintaining accurate customer records and enhancing security.
However, one long-time subscriber has expressed significant frustration after their line was barred without prior notice.
The customer, who has used their MTN line for over a decade and linked it to their NIN multiple times, feels this sudden action undermines their expectation of respect and dignity from the service provider.
MTN has not yet specifically addressed this case but reiterates its commitment to regulatory compliance and encourages affected users to update their information to restore their services.
The Federal Government trains 500 women and youths in food production and agriculture. The programme was started to support food security.
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security partnered with the National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT).
The women and youths were taught tomato, okra and Telfairia production techniques. The government believes this will help boost agriculture, improve food production and strengthen the economy in Ogun State.
According to reports, fuel stations are reducing their prices a bit. This has become a general thing around Nigeria after the spike due to the removal of subsidy.
The prices are dropping to ₦1,275 and ₦1,299, going lower than ₦1,300 compared to what it was before.
MTN has moved closer to acquiring IHS Holding, following shareholder approval of the proposed takeover, marking another major milestone in the transaction.
The approval was secured during the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on 4 August, allowing the deal to progress to the next stage.
If completed, the acquisition is expected to strengthen MTN’s infrastructure capabilities by giving the company greater control over its telecommunications tower assets. Industry analysts believe the move could improve network efficiency, reduce long-term operating costs, and support MTN’s continued expansion across its markets.
The transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions before it can be officially completed.
