About MTN Nigeria
MTN Nigeria is part of the MTN Group. MTN has grown to be one of Africa’s leading cellular telecommunications company. MTN became the first GSM network to make a call just after the globally lauded Nigerian GSM auction activated by the Nigerian Communications Commission in 2001. This call was made on May 16, 2001. After that, the company launched full commercial operations which began in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
