Jan 27 South Africa's MTN is
seeking an "amicable" out-of-court settlement with Nigeria's NCC
telecommunications regulator which has fined the cell operator
$3.9 billion, a top NCC official said on Wednesday.
MTN has filed a suit against the fine which was imposed on
the company for failing to deactivate unregistered phone SIM
cards.
"Our lawyers communicated to us that indeed MTN is resorting
to a settlement out of court," Umar Garba Danbatta, NCC's
executive vice chairman told reporters. "They (MTN) are trying
to get this settled amicably."
