They said the least they pay their workers is 3,500,000 per annum, lieeees from the pit of hell. Some low paid workers still earn 40k to 50k respectively.

MTN ..... YOU CANT BEAT THE RICH POOR

chy200:
Re confirm from your informant they were "heavily' paid off not sacked

abatically:


Some people just like to beef foreign companies for just no reason. Their mentality is like 'Na our country, u can't come to our country and make money'. Its very silly. Yet there are millions of Nigerians making money in other countries. They will beef MTN, beef DSTV. Ok let a Nigerian company come and do a better job na problem. MTN is a legitimate company doing legit business in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. In fact the only Nigerian telco company in Nigeria have the worst service. Now just imagine if that company is South African owned.

If you know the reasons behind the contracting thing ehn, you won't blame MTN but our Nigerian brothers.

Only the fittest of the fittest survives, so stay alive...

MTN increased salaries in a year that was marred by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nigeria’s largest mobile operator, MTN, increased the salaries of its staff in 2020 by about N4.5 billion according to findings by Nairametrics Research.
The telecom firm reported a total increase in its salaries and wages from about N25.79 billion in 2019 to about N30.2 billion in 2020, representing about 17% bump. On average, MTN paid N16.4 million per staff per annum in 2020 compared to N13.79 million per staff in 2019 representing an 18.9% increase. This is also because its headcount dropped by about 26 people.
A deep dive into its annual reports also reveals the salary increase was across the board for the year under review. Based on the increase, the least amount a staff earns is N3.5 million per annum from N2.5 million a year earlier.

Analysis of salary increases
• About 141 staff saw their salaries increase to above N3.5 million per annum in 2020.
• Another 260 staff were bumped to a salary scale of between above N7.5 and N8.5 million.
• Finally, another 158 employees were moved to a salary scale of above N12.5 million per annum, its highest pay bracket.
• In summary, a total of 599 employees received various levels of salary increases during the year.
Executive Directors of MTN also reported a pay raise from N586 million per annum in 2019 to N732 million in 2020. This is attributed to the appointment of Modupe Kadiri as Executive Director in March 2020.
Why this matters
The year 2020 was a peculiar year mostly due to the negative effects of Covid-19 which ravaged the finances of most corporations in Nigeria. At the height of the pandemic, some Nigerian companies resorted to downsizing and reduction of overheads as a strategy to maintain financial solvency. However, MTN’s salary increase is a huge departure from the norm.
• MTN reported a 15% increase in revenue (to N1.3 trillion) as Nigerians gobbled up data due to Covid-19 stay-at-home restrictions by the government and most private-sector corporations.
• MTN share price is down 6% year to date.

Are you a staff of Airtel, Glo, 9mobile? Please tell us what it feels like working there. is the pay worth it? when last was there a pay rise? is there room for career growth as seen with MTN?

The problem is the slavery Manning system we practice in Nigeria. In South Africa MTN recruit directly but here in Nigeria most of their staff are contracted to Huawei and others which gives room for such contractors to treat people the way they feel like.

thebosstrevor1:
A full time MTN staff take home more salary than a full time staff in many Nigerian owned banks and multinational companies.

To be realistic, without MTN, we will all be in the dark age.

Imagine if only glo was the only telcom in Nigeria?

Low pay with very bad network

Bigsteveg:


Rubbish......which staffs are contracted to Huawei, stop saying rubbish. Huawei manages TX for Mtn, Airtel, 9Mobile. Stop saying nonsense

Agreed!
BSS/TX is managed by Huawei who inturn subcontracts to other SBC's who pay them peanuts in return!
Just check for yourself if these Telcos recruit all their BSS/TX staff directly, you know how many jobs will be created right? this is where Glo needs to be applauded.
