LAGOS — The Federal Government, yesterday, said it would neither be cowed nor threatened by MTN’s court action against the N1.4trn fine which was later reduced to N780 billion, insisting that the telecommunications company risks another fine if it fails to pay on deadline.
Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, made the statement yesterday in reaction to the suit instituted by the telecom operator at a Lagos High Court, weekend.
The minister, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Victor Oluwadamilare, however, admitted that MTN had the right to seek court’s interpretation if it feels unsatisfied with the action of the regulator but made it clear that nothing would stop the government from imposing additional fine on the operator, at the expiration of the deadline.
According to the minister, “it is the right of MTN to approach the court but there was an infraction, which MTN admitted to have committed before it pleaded for leniency that led to the reduction of the fine from N1.4 trillion to N780 billion and the subsequent December 31, 2015 deadline to pay.
“If it has decided to go to court, it is still within the ambit of the law. I will not intervene, since they have gone to court, we will allow the court to decide if it is right for MTN to commit those infractions and breach the laws of the land.”
He, however, said that “it is unwise for MTN to go to court after the Federal Government had magnanimously reduced the fine. It will surely be fined for violating the rule at the expiration of the deadline, should it fail to pay the initial fine.”
Why we are in court —MTN
Meanwhile, MTN, yesterday, also insisted that its action was induced by commitment and belief in the long term sustainability of its business.
According to the company’s Human Resources & Corporate Services Executive, Amina Oyagbola, “the N780 billion fine has potentially dire consequences for the company, its employees, partners, stakeholders as well as the entire Nigerian telecommunications industry.
Being a significant contributor in Nigeria, MTN has an obligation to protect the interests of its ecosystem of millions of Nigerians who are directly and indirectly affected by its business operations and continuity.
According to Oyagbola, “the decision to seek judicial determination was reached after careful consideration of all factors, including extensive attempts at a sustainable resolution. It is important to state that seeking judicial determination was a last resort. We hold the Nigerian Government, its national objectives, laws and regulations in the highest regard.”
She, however, added that notwithstanding the action, the company will continue to engage with the Nigerian authorities in an effort to reach an amicable resolution in the interest of all stakeholders.
The NCC sanctioned MTN for refusing to remove over 5.1 million unregistered telephone subscribers from its network.
The regulator fined the telecoms operator N1.04 trillion, but later reduced it by 25 per cent after the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari, amid pressure and negotiations from the company’s parent body in South Africa.
The NCC also reviewed the deadline from November 16 to December 31, 2015.
Ahead of that date, the MTN Group, last Thursday, said in a statement from Johannesburg, South Africa, that it was taking legal action over the matter and subsequently filed the suit at the weekend, lining up about six Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SANs.
According to the firm, since its previous advice to its shareholders on December 4, 2015 that all factors relating to the sanctions were thoroughly and carefully considered, including a review of the circumstances that led to the fine and subsequent reduction by NCC, there were enough grounds upon which to challenge the fine in court.
Claiming to act on legal advice, MTN queried the manner the fine was imposed, describing it as “not in accordance with the NCC’s powers
Actually what I see here is that MTN group wants to close down their Nigerian shop and now MTN Nigeria wants to save its skin. They will all lose their jobs and kiss them goodbye. All that is left is for them to fight and save their jobs.

2. South Africa pulled out of namibia and granted independence at Angola's request

3. South Africa called for negotiatiOns.

What is the use? Because it is said that SA customers have so far contributed the largest profit. MTN Nigeria has been fined regularly since it arrived in Nigeria. It is very obvious that Nigeria is using it as a cash cow.

be careful, only rumour of a fine by Nigeria regulatory body has pummelled mtn's shares down 16% totalling a loss of 50 billion rands. That's just a two day loss on the rumour that Nigeria isn't happy with you.

MTN regained 6% on its market value ever since the last fall. Read the news and keep up to date.

MTN will survive even if it leaves Nigerian shop and save itself its cash reserves, so said SA analysts. Their continued stay is risky and detrimental to the business. Nigeria's customer base is said to be the bigges in terms of its revenues but the fine will cancel all that. Even the smallest UGANDA will be said to have made more money than their biggest Nigerian counterpart. How will it help MTN?

1. Not classified anymore. Classified at the time because our actions were illegal in terms of international law (preventative attacks are illegal) and casualty figures were never classified thanks to a High Court ruling.

2. Cuba pulled out of Angola at South Africas request

3. And Cuba met the terms of our Negotiations

4. No they have not

What is beyond dispute is that there were 35 battles in Angola

South Africa won 34 decivly with 1 being at worst a draw

4~10K South Africans stopped 60K Cubans and over 100K Angolans dead in their tracks for 25 years

In one single battle we killed 4000 men, destroyed over 90 tanks and captured over a tens of millions of dollars in equipment for the loss of 15~30 men and a handfull of IFVs

In the military sense, there is no argument that can dispute that we were the clear and outright winners.

Judging by operational outcomes it was a win

PLAN was slaughtered and was a non entity in the operational area for most of the war

UNITA was protected and kept alive

MPLA and Cuban forces were decisively defeated in every engagement

All the while the SADF could operate in Angola with impunity for most of the war

[size=13pt] War against Boko Haram largely won [/size]

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed


NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Wednesday said the Nigerian military had met the December deadline to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.

The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the minister said this during his first meeting with editorial heads of media houses in Lagos.

Mohammed said, “Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won. I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama.



“Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki, which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic, are in the hands of our gallant troops.”

He explained that during his visit to Borno, presence of the military could be felt ”every few metres along the road” and that at a point, he and the group felt they were just a kilometre to Sambisa forest.

“They (the military) have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack,” he added.

Mohammed, however, said that though there were still cases of suicide bombings, it was pertinent to note that such was the nature if insurgency globally.

‘Unlike a war between two armies, an insurgency never ends with arms victory,” he said. “Even in countries like Colombia where insurgency was supposed to have ended decades ago, attacks like this still happen.”

He said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, entertainment centres, religious centres, killing innocent people mostly women and children.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the military in the fight against terrorism in the country.

“It is our turn as civilians to give them our support; to realise that the war they are fighting is not their war alone, but our war, hence we must own the war,” he said.

The minister disclosed that a national security campaign had commenced to raise awareness among Nigerians about the war, the sacrifices of our troops, and how to stamp out the remnant of the war.

“Jingles are being played on national radio and television as part of the campaign in order to keep the media better informed about the war, so that they can also better inform Nigerians,’’ he said.

Mohammed also said that an ad-hoc committee, comprising media representatives as well as intelligence agencies, would be inaugurated to regularly be updated about the war in order to better inform the public.
