Breaking: MTN Nigeria Closes Shops Nationwide

Agency Report/

South Africa owned telecommunications giant, MTN has announced the closure of all its shops in Nigeria.

This may not be unconnected with the threat by some Nigerians to reciprocate the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

There have been a series of attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, and the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, says the South African government was not doing enough to quell the attacks.

The attacks by South Africans also led to an attempt by Some Nigerians to raze some South African owned companies in Nigeria, including MTN, Dstv and Shoprite.

In a message to its subscribers on Wednesday, MTN Nigeria announced the closure of its shops and the operation of only its online platforms.

”Yello! Our shops are unavailable today. You can reach us on Twitter- @MTN180, MTNonline.com/Livechat, chat on MyMTN App. For Call Center dial 180. Thank you.
