Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has charged telecom giant MTN, to mreduce the cost of data and provide quality services to Nigerian subscribers.

 

In a statement released by his media aide, Femi Adesina, president Buhari also asked the telecommunication company for making available top-of-the-range service to its Nigerian subscribers.

 

Buhari said this when he received members of the board of MTN Group led by its President and Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Mupita, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.

 

The president also called on the group to support the implementation of the National Policy for the Promotion of Indigenous Content in the Nigerian Telecommunications Sector.

 

“I recently unveiled and launched the National Policy for the Promotion of Indigenous Content in the Nigerian Telecommunications Sector.

 

“I call on MTN to support the implementation of this Policy and train and engage more Nigerians in your company,” Buhari said.

 

“In particular, 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 added.

 

President Buhari thus, assured MTN Nigeria that his administration was doing everything possible to make Nigeria investor-friendly by addressing identified challenges.

 

“We are implementing a number of policies and programmes to ensure that institutions like MTN have a conducive environment for doing business in Nigeria. Our massive jump in the Global Ease of Doing Business Ranking is proof that our efforts are yielding positive results.

 

“We have identified and addressed the key challenges that affected the growth of the digital economy sector. One of such challenges was the high Right of Way costs and another was the vandalisation of critical national infrastructure.

 

“I am happy to note that the Right of Way charges have now been pegged at a maximum of N145/linear metre and I have given directives for the protection of Critical National Infrastructure and this has addressed the issue of vandalisation of such infrastructure. Service providers should always appreciate the effort of government and not undermine it,” he said.
