MTN Nigeria Clarifies Tower Lease Situation

TECH DIGEST– In response to recent media reports suggesting that IHS Towers has presented improved lease terms matching those of ATC, MTN Nigeria has refuted these claims, asserting that no revised offer has been received from IHS. MTN emphasized the finality of its agreement with ATC for the lease of 2,500 sites, following a rigorous and transparent procurement process announced in September.

MTN Nigeria’s Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer, Tobechukwu Okigbo, dismissed the speculations, affirming that the procurement process for the 2,500 sites concluded with ATC was fair, transparent, and superior. The company reiterated its commitment to engaging constructively with IHS on future opportunities, including the renewal of towers slated for 2025.

Okigbo addressed concerns over network disruptions and environmental impact, categorically stating that such allegations are factually incorrect and misleading. MTN expressed confidence in ATC’s plans, assuring a smooth transition between towers and adherence to guidelines set by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA).

MTN underscored its confidence in the partnership with ATC, positioning it as a catalyst for a new era of connectivity in Nigeria. The company emphasized its focus on expense efficiencies, sustainability, and environmental responsibility, anticipating significant reductions in carbon emissions through ATC’s commitment to operating green sites.

MTN expressed expectations for ATC to strictly adhere to NCC guidelines and NESREA regulations while highlighting the shared commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. Contrary to allegations of harmful environmental impact, the partnership with ATC is framed as a positive step toward reducing greenhouse gases.
