President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday urged the MTN Group to
reduce its cost of calls and data in Nigeria.
The President received members of the board led by its
President and Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Mupita at the State House, Abuja.
Buhari noted that Nigeria is the MTN’s most lucrative market
in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, as well as the source of a third of the
income of the entire group.
He urged the firm to continue to expand high quality connectivity to Nigerians in unserved and underserved areas.
The President also sought MTN’s support for the
implementation of the National Policy for the Promotion of Indigenous Content
in the Nigerian Telecommunications Sector.
“We would like you to continue to support our efforts by
improving the Quality of Service and enabling a downward price review of the
cost of data and other services, in view of your large market in Nigeria.
“We also urge you to step up your Corporate Social
Responsibility programs and support Research and Development that will enhance
your services in Nigeria.”
Buhari assured that his administration was doing everything
possible to make Nigeria investor-friendly by addressing identified challenges.
He listed the implementation of policies to ensure that
institutions and investors have a conducive environment for doing business in
the country.
