MTN Nigeria is pleased to report that
its legal counsel has received a letter dated 8 January 2020 from the Attorney
General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (the AGF) formally
withdrawing his demand for N242,244,452,215.97 and USD$1,283,610,357.86 alleged
revenue indebtedness.
The letter confirmed that
following careful review and due consultation with relevant statutory agencies,
the AGF has decided to refer the matter to the Federal Inland Revenue Service
(FIRS) and Nigeria Custom Service (NCS) with a view to resolving contentious
Issues.
MTN Nigeria will
consequently follow due court process to withdraw its legal action against the
AGF and engage with the FIRS and NC on the issues. MTN Nigeria remains
committed to conducting its business in accordance with applicable laws in
Nigeria.
Expressing satisfaction at the development, MTN Nigeria CEO, Ferdi Moolman said "we are very pleased with the decision of the AGF and we commend him for his wisdom. We maintain our dedication to building and maintaining cordial relationships with all regulatory authorities in Nigeria and remain fully committed to meeting our fiscal responsibilities and contributing to the social and economic development of Nigeria."
