Telecommunications company, MTN, is seeking an out of court settlement over the N1.04 trillion fine the Federal government through the National Communications Commission, slammed on it last year for failing to deactivate 5.1 billion unregistered phone lines. MTN had initially dragged FG to court over the fine, arguing that it was outrageous. The Federal government had reduced the fine to N780 billion after the company complained.
At a resumed hearing of the suit at the Fedral High Court Ikoyi today January 22nd, the lead counsel for MTN, Wole Olanipekun, told the presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, that they have considered to settle out of court with the Federal government.
Following the request by MTN, the presiding judge adjourned the case to March 18, 2016 hoping that both parties would have reached an agreement before then.

I don't get, 5.1 billion unregistered phone lines and our population is about 160-170 million.
Someone put me tru pls.
Hmmmm, MTN palava!
I smell trouble
Dey should just pay up already. Linda take note!
But Linda though... when did Nigeria have a pollution or even mobile usage that came close to 5.1 billion? With such a customer base, MTN would have paid the fine without a blink.
I wish them well and hope that the federal government takes that stand, as one of the killing phenomenon in the government is lack of respect they get from foreign investors/companies. It is high time they started respecting our policies and instructions.

Linda!!!! Are you sure the number of unregistered phone lines in question is up to 5.1 billion? Please always read through before posting. We are merely around 170 million in population. I wonder how the number of unregistered lines will be as high as 5.1 billion.
