MTN Nigeria, the country’s largest mobile network operator, has raised ₦75 billion through its Commercial Paper Issuance Programme to support operations and short-term financial needs. This successful issuance marks the completion of the Series 11 and 12 under its ₦250 billion program, with the offering oversubscribed by 150%, reaching ₦75.18 billion, surpassing the initial target of ₦50 billion. The oversubscription reflects strong investor confidence despite the company reporting a ₦514.9 billion loss after tax for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, due to naira devaluation and net foreign exchange losses of ₦904.9 billion. MTN Nigeria, however, achieved a 33.6% year-on-year growth in service revenue, driven by a 52.3% rise in data demand and an 18% increase in fintech services. The issuance attracted banks, insurance companies, and asset managers, while pension funds were excluded due to regulatory updates. #MTNNigeria #CommercialPaperIssuance #FinancialResilience #InvestorConfidence #TelecomGrowth

Key highlights from MTN Nigeria’s 9months financial report compared to the same period last year 33.7% increase in total revenue 238% increase in CAPEX 95.9% increase in OPEX 3335.4% increase in loss after tax Despite the country's challenging macroeconomic pressures, MTN Nigeria sustained strong revenue growth in the first nine months of 2024. However, high inflation and interest rates, including rising FX, are roadblocks to profitability. A decade ago, the telecoms sector contributed about 7% to GDP, by Q1 2024, the sector was on track to double that and contribute about 15% to GDP. However, this momentum may be truncated if investments in the sector is not sustained i.e. the magnitude of losses in the sector is a significant deterrent investment. The NCC needs to support the sector with policies that guarantee a path to profitability even as the telcos internally strategize in navigating the challenging macroeconomic conditions. The industry requires a tariff increase.

Reminder to Mr Ayota Patrick, Managing Director NSSF! Please respond to the letters my lawyers wrote to you demanding access to my invalidity benefits so that I can explore treatment options in or out of country. It is abundantly clear your doctors at Nelson Medical Specialists & The Surgery in Naguru failed to do tests and ascertain answers to crucial questions about my chronic back pain. Misdiagnoses have consequences. You don't get it! I was shocked to hear that they reported to you that I'm not sick, and you believed them without seeking a second opinion. Should this be considered to be an isolated incident caused by human error or is it business as usual? Don't we deserve better? Why should I struggle paying hospital bills out of pocket for a life threatening condition when I have hundreds of millions of Uganda shillingis stashed in my NSSF savings account? Do you think everyone is entitled to medical evacuation overseas at the expense of taxpayers?
Sylvia Mulinge, MTN Uganda Chief Executive Officer hands over a dummy cheque to Patrick Ayota, NSSF Managing Director of UGX39.7billion dividend payout from the telecom for the year ended December, 2023 while Kenneth Owera, NSSF Acting Chief Investment Officer and Andrew Bugembe, the MTN Chief Financial Officer(far right) look on. The event took place during a press briefing held today (4th July 2024). #NSSFMTNDividends
