NCC Forgives MTN, Lifts Sanctions

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Mr Tony Ojobo, the Director, Public Affairs, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), said on Wednesday that the commission had lifted the sanction placed on MTN Nigeria since July 13, 2015. 
 
Ojobo said in a statement that the regulatory sanctions were for 24 identified infractions. 
 
It said that the lifting of the regulatory sanction was in no way related to the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card non-deactivation fine. 
 
“This is to confirm that NCC has lifted the regulatory sanctions placed on MTN since July 13, 2015. 
 
“The sanctions were for 24 identified infractions which are not in any way connected with the SIM card non-deactivation fine. 
 
“These were a number of violations discovered by the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Team of the commission in June 2015. 
 
“Consequent upon the inability of MTN to remedy the identified infractions, the commission invoked the sanction in its guidelines,’’ the statement quoted Ojobo as saying. 
 
It said that the sanction meant the denial of regulatory services to the telecommunications company for failing to remedy the infractions in line with NCC’s regulations. 
 
According to the statement, consequent upon the remediation of the 24 infractions by MTN, the regulatory body’s letter of March 14, 2016, informed the company of its decision to lift the regulatory sanction. 
 
“It should be noted that this does not in any way extend to the fine for non-deactivation of SIM card case. 
 
“The case of SIM card deactivation is an entirely different infraction, which is mutually exclusive to the 24 infractions now remedied. 
 
“This has become necessary in view of the many enquiries being received from concerned stakeholders. 
“This action is without prejudice to the matter which is presently in court. Please be guided accordingly,’’ it quoted Ojobo as saying.</div>

Buhari: Nigerian govt, MTN in talks over N780 billion fine

At a joint news conference with South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma, who is on official visit to Nigeria, Mr. Buhari said the talks could also agree on a payment schedule. 
The fine, imposed by the Nigeria Communications Commission in October 2015, has been a subject of controversy for months. The commission initially asked MTN to pay N1.04 trillion for failing to disconnect 5.1 million unregistered subscribers, but later reviewed the sum to N780 billion. 
 
The telecoms company has yet to pay the fine. In January, MTN took legal action, challenging the powers of NCC to issue the fine. 
After missing repeated deadlines for payment, MTN announced late February it had paid N50 billion in “good faith” towards and amicable resolution of the matter. The company also announced the withdrawal of its lawsuit. 
In his first public comment on the matter, President Buhari said Nigeria was not concerned about the money, but the security implication of MTN’s failure to disconnect unregistered lines. 
He said the company chose to go to court rather than negotiate with the authorities. 
 
“MTN had withdrawn their case from the court and decided to go back and renegotiate the fine, which they consider very stiff, with NCC to find ways the fine can be reduced and given time to pay gradually,” Mr. Buhari said</div>

MTN Seeks Out Of Court Settlement for N1.04tn Fine.

Telecommunications Company, MTN Nigeria, has said it is considering settling out of court with the Nigerian Communications Commission over the N1.04tn fine imposed on it. 
 
On Friday, at the resumed hearing of the suit it filed to challenge the N1.04tn fine, MTN’s lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), pleaded with the presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, to give parties 60 days to explore the option of settlement out of court. 
 
But the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), who was sued as the 2nd defendant, told the court, through his lawyer, Mr. Dipo Okpeseyi (SAN), that parties had been finding it difficult to settle out of court. 
 
He urged the court to take it that all the court papers in the matter had been properly filed and served and that the case was still ongoing. 
 
“This is a matter of national importance. There have been concessions in the past and nothing happened,” Okpeseyi noted. 
 
In his own reaction, counsel for the NCC, Mr. Yusuf Alli (SAN), argued that the maximum period allowed by the court rules was 21 days for parties to file and serve written addresses. 
 
After entertaining arguments from all parties, Justice Idris adjourned till March 18 for report of settlement or for hearing in the case. 
 
The judge also held that all processes filed shall be deemed as properly filed and served. 
 
He held that all the preliminary objections and substantive application shall be taken together on the adjourned date if need be. 
 
Justice Idris had on January 12, 2016 turned down an application of mareva injunction by the AGF seeking to bar MTN from emptying its accounts in 21 commercial banks in Nigeria, in order not to boycott N1.04tn fine. 
 
The AGF had expressed the fear that MTN could move all its funds out of the country before the N1.04tn fine could be enforced. 
 
He had sought an order directing all the 21 banks to open a special interest-yielding account in the name of the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court and move N1.04tn into it from MTN’s accounts. 
 
But in refusing the application, the judge said the AGF did not place enough material fact before the court to prove that MTN was making any moves to repatriate all its funds out of Nigeria. 
 
MTN had filed the suit to challenge the N1.04tn fine imposed on it by NCC for its failure to deactivate its unregistered subscribers. 
 
Among other things, the company contended that NCC could not act pursuant to Section 70 of its establishment Act to impose the fine on it, adding that it was not given fair hearing before the fine was imposed.</div>
