MTN has announced the closure of all its offices and service centers across in Nigeria for 24 hours, starting from July 30, 2024.
This decision comes in response to a series of vandalism incidents, triggered by the disconnection of customers’ lines under the government’s NIN-SIM linkage policy.
It would be recalled that on Monday, a group of angry subscribers demolished the fence of an MTN office in Festac town area of Lagos, while protesting the disconnection of their telephone lines.
MTN in a statement on X, urged affected customers to utilise digital support channels for assistance during the closure.
Meanwhile, the company has also provided a step-by-step guide for subscribers to unblock their SIMs online.
MTN reassured customers that normal operations would resume after the 24-hour period.
