MTN Sues CBN, AG over $10.1bn Forex, Tax Sanctions

The MTN Group says it has sought court injunction to protect its business assets in Nigeria over its $8.1 billion dispute with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the $2 billion tax bill slammed on the company by the Nigerian Attorney-General.

“Nigeria is our largest market. We’ve been operating there since 2001,” MTN Chief Executive Rob Shuter said at the on-going ITU Telecom World conference in Durban, South Africa. “We do have some challenges these past few weeks, but we believe we will be able to make our case and I’m sure we will move past that as soon as we can.”

MTN said in a statement that it had approached Federal High Court in Nigeria for an injunction to restrain the CBN and Attorney General from taking further actions against it in respect of the issues.

“We remain resolute that MTN Nigeria has not committed any offences and will continue to vigorously defend its position,” the statement read.

YES-Let’s Talk About Shelter!

Way back in my college days, we were taught that every man needs three basic things for normal living: Food, Clothing and Shelter. For me and my folks then, the teacher was only teaching us to pass our exams and move on to the next class. Why should we really bother about the teacher’s sermon of Food, Clothing and Shelter as three basic needs of man when our Daddy and Mummy were there for us 24/7, providing all the food we need, the clothing to cover our bodies and shelter to sleep in overnight.
