ABUJA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - MTN Nigeria MTNN.LG is at an
advanced stage in renewing its operating spectrum and licence in
Nigeria for another 10 years from September, the local unit of
South Africa's MTN MTNJ.J said on Sunday.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has approved
the renewal of the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands due to expire in
August 2021.
The spectrum underpins MTN's data network and telecom
coverage in Africa's biggest economy, the group said in its
annual report published on Sunday.
MTN said 37.2 million subscribers, or 48.7% of its Nigerian
subscriber base, have submitted national identification numbers
as part of a government requirement to tighten SIM registration.
