MTN Nigeria secures NCC approval to extend 800MHz licences, harmonising expiration to 2034, bolstering 4G service delivery and connectivity strategy.

MTN Nigeria Communications PLC (MTN Nigeria or the ‘Company’) hereby notifies Nigerian Exchange Limited and the investing public that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has approved the renewal of its first 800MHz Spectrum band licence (Channel 1) for an additional ten years, effective from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2034.

The NCC has also approved the extension of the second 800MHz spectrum band licence (Channel 2), which expires on 31 December 2030, for an additional four years, with a new end date of 31 December 2034. The extension aims to harmonise the tenure of the Company’s 800MHz spectrum licences so that they jointly expire on 31 December 2034 for ease of subsequent renewals.

We are pleased with the successful renewal and harmonisation of our 800MHz spectrum licences, which lay a solid foundation for the ongoing delivery of 4G services to our customers. This enables us to continue to meet the demand for data and is integral to our broader strategy for enhancing connectivity.

– Karl Toriola, CEO, MTN Nigeria
