MTN Nigeria is pleased to inform The Nigerian Stock Exchange (The Exchange), the investing public and other stakeholders of the appointment of Mr. Karl Toriola as the CEO designate. His appointment is effective 1st March 2021, providing enough time for an orderly handover.

Mr. Toriola is currently the Vice President: West and Central Africa (WECA), excluding Nigeria and Ghana, a position he assumed in 2016. During that period, he has overseen the steady progress of the operating companies in the region, notably the turnaround of MTN Ivory Coast and MTN Cameroon.

Karl Toriola increased his stake in the telecoms provider via the purchase 920,000 ordinary shares, as disclosed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange platform.

A break down of the aggregate information showed Toriola acquired 920,000 ordinary shares at N118 per share on June 25, 2020, in Lagos, Nigeria.

Accordingly, the total purchase stood at 920,000 shares valued at N108,560,000.

Brief Profile

During his tenure, the WECA markets have made significant commercial and strategic strides. These include the improvement of market shares within the region and the development of mobile financial services.

Since joining the Group in 2006, Mr. Toriola has also held a number of senior operational roles including Chief Technical Officer of MTN Nigeria, CEO of MTN Cameroon and MTN Group Operations Executive. Mr. Toriola has at various times in his career in MTN Group, had oversight responsibility of 16 of the Group subsidiaries and serves on various MTN boards, including MTN Nigeria.

Mr. Toriola obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Ife, a Master of Science degree in Communication Systems from the University of Wales, and attended the General Management Program at Harvard Business School. In addition, he has attended several executive development courses at various institutions including Wharton Business School, Institute of Management Development and London Business School.

Sparogatively, the Yoruba meaning of Toriola is... "because of tomorrow". Some would translate it to mean because of wealth, but I would stick to the former!

No one knows tommorow! The breakdown of how much shares he owns, was it necessary?

Anyways, "Because of Tommorw", bearing rioters and 'ALOOTERS' in mind, I think MTN where wise here.

"Na una people get MTN NG o!"
Message passed loud and clear!

Let me not forget to say...

Congratulobia! Mr Toriola

The rightful interpretation of "Toriola" is Because of wealth.

The rightful interpretation is Toriola (Because of wealth).

Toriola "because of tomorrow" is mostly used in a statement.

Don't eat this food finish because of tomorrow.

why you are so hateful and lost common sense because of envy, even if anyone bears Toriola in those countries you mentioned, they must have been Yoruba descent from Nigeria, just like Seyi Adebayor. Anyway, his name is Olutokun Toriola Karl, he is a Yoruba man, you can now start the worries

Adebayo isn't a nigerian but a togolese , adebayo is a common west African native name. Am not hating or being envy am just stating the fact, have met so many west Africans like togolese, from beniné Republic Guinea, Senegalese, some central African Republic answering names similar to Yoruba but they told me they're not Nigerians but those names are native to West Africans particularly French speakers in west Africa

You are a confirmed liar, no one will ever tell you that, Adebayo is a traditional natural name, it is not a religious name that anyone can bear. You have to know the meaning of a name before you named your child such name. You can't know those countries you mentioned more than me, they are very always proud of their root.
