Nigeria: MTN Fine Saga Continues as NCC Typographical Error increases Fine To $3.9bn





A spokesman for the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has admitted that a typing error led it to give the wrong figure for a reduction in the fine it has handed to MTN mobile phone network, Bloomberg news agency reports.

It was reported on Thursday that the fine for failing to cut off unregistered users had gone down from $5.2bn to $3.4bn.
But now MTN has been told the fine is half a million dollars higher at $3.9bn.
Bloomberg says that NCC spokesman Tony Ojobo told them that "there was a typo" in its original letter.
"We saw the mistake and had to fix it," he added.
