Nigeria expects no out-of-court settlement with South Africa's cellphone operator MTN over a $3.9 billion fine unless MTN withdraws its lawsuit, says telecommunications minister Alh. Adebayo Shitu said on Tuesday.
MTN had filed a suit after the Nigerian telecommunications regulator imposed the fine for failing to disconnect users with unregistered SIM cards.
"As far as we are concerned, there can be no out-of-the-court settlement except if it's taken out of court," Adebayo Shittu told reporters. "I'm not aware of any out-of-the-court settlement."
