Job Information Page on LinkedinCompany DescriptionMTN Nigeria is part of the MTN Group, Africa's leading cellular telecommunications company.
On May 16, 2001, MTN became the first GSM network to make a call following the globally lauded Nigerian GSM auction conducted by the Nigerian Communications Commission earlier in the year. Thereafter the company launched full commercial operations in August 2001, beginning with Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Since our entry into the Nigerian market, MTN has become an intrinsic part of Nigerian social and economic life, offering services that act as a catalyst for fiscal and human development. As a result of our massive investment, we now have the most expansive network coverage, spread across over 2,000 cities, towns and villages in all 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
We have demonstrated our belief in Nigeria not only by investing billions of dollars in infrastructure and facilities, but by also investing in areas of need, thereby giving back to society. In May 2005, the MTN Nigeria Foundation was created to spearhead a robust corporate social responsibility agenda.
MTN Nigeria currently employs over 6,000 individuals and subsists on the core brand values of the MTN Group - Leadership, Integrity, Relationship, Innovation and a Can do attitude.
As we progress with our operations, MTN embraces a win-win ideology that will ultimately stimulate economic development and a vibrant, stable society.
