MTN Nigeria Shuts Down Jos Offices.

MTN via its facebook page made a public announcement to the general public, and especially customers in Jos and Plateau State that their offices in Jos have been closed as at Thursday July 12, 2014. 

According to the post on facebook, the closure came about following an ex parte  court injunction taken against MTN by the Plateau State Internal Revenue Service (PSIRS ) regarding a  tax claim of N15 million allegedly owed  as development levy by MTN.

 

MTN however stated out rightly that it is not obliged to pay this amount and this position has received that affirmation of the  Joint Tax Board.

 

The Company, has since been seen vacating its premises in line with the court order, stating that its jos and pleateu offices may remain closed to the public pending the determination of the suit.

 

MTN also took the platform to apologise to its esteemed customers who might directly or indirectly be affected by this action.
