MTN Nigeria Urges Telecom Sector to Regain Profitability
MTN Nigeria, the country’s largest telecom operator, has highlighted the urgent need for the telecommunications industry to regain profitability. CEO Karl Toriola shared this message during a visit to MTN’s facilities in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, with a group of media fellows. He pointed out that the sector is facing significant losses, requiring immediate action to turn things around.
Toriola oversees about 78 million subscribers and noted that MTN currently relies on profits earned over the past two decades, which is unsustainable. Earlier this year, telecom operators, including MTN, called for a tariff increase—the first in 11 years—to address rising operational costs and improve service quality.
He warned that without this increase, the company might struggle to operate. In the first half of 2024, MTN reported a staggering N519.1 billion loss, primarily due to foreign exchange losses and high inflation. Despite these challenges, Toriola remains optimistic that key financial regulators can step in to help resolve the industry’s financial issues.
Dangote Refinery has announced a fresh reduction in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol.
The company, which is one of Nigeria’s leading oil producers, announced in a statement shared by its spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, on its official X account on Thursday.
Effective immediately, Dangote Refinery has lowered the ex-depot price of petrol to N899.50 per litre, down from the previous rate of N970.
In his statement, Chiejina mentioned the company’s commitment to helping alleviate the financial burden on consumers during the holidays.
“We have now announced a new price of N899.50 per litre.
This reduction is designed to ease transport costs during the festive period,” he said.
“To alleviate transport costs during this holiday season, Dangote Refinery is offering a holiday discount on PMS.
From today, our petrol will be available at N899.50 per litre at our truck loading gantry or SPM.”
In addition to the price reduction, Dangote Refinery has introduced a new incentive to make fuel more accessible for consumers.
Chiejina explained that for every litre of petrol purchased on a cash basis, buyers will have the opportunity to acquire an additional litre on credit.
This offer is backed by a bank guarantee from Access Bank, First Bank, or Zenith Bank, providing customers with more flexible payment options.

Nigeria’s Oil Production increased in November 2024 and has reached 1.69 Million per day going 10% increase compared to that of October production.
This now secures Nigeria’s oil production as the top in the Africa Oil Production.
The crude oil production rose with 11.42% but the condensation production reduced. Despite the great progress of the production, Nigeria’s oil production still has not reached their 2024 goal of 1.78mbpd.
