JUST-IN: MTN Closes All Offices Across the Country

The massive telecommunications company MTN has declared that, beginning on July 30, 2024, all of its offices and service centers will be closed for a full day.

This action was taken in reaction to several vandalism events that were brought on by consumers' lines being disconnected in accordance with the government's NIN-SIM linkage policy.
