MTN Nigeria has told its subscribers not to pay more than the amount printed on any of their recharge cards.

The telecommunication’s Public Relations and Protocol Manager, Mr Funso Aina, said in a statement on Friday in Lagos that MTN had not increased prices of recharge cards.


“MTN Nigeria hereby use this medium to inform all its subscribers that it has not increased the prices of recharge cards.

“The cost of recharge cards remain the face value stated on the physical vouchers.

“Any increment from any quarters across the country on our recharge cards is without our knowledge,” Aina said.


He also stated that MTN was taking steps, to ensure that its trade partners and retailers adhere to the uniformity in prices.

“While we are working assiduously to resolve claims of illegal increases, we apologise to our customers for any inconvenience this might have caused.

“Alternatively, we advise our customers to explore other options of purchasing airtime such as MTN Virtual Top Up (VTU), Diamond Yello Account (DYA) or MTN Auto Top-up,” Aina added.
