The case of the N1.4 trillion fine imposed on MTN Nigeria, by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) is before President Buhari for consideration. This was revealed to newsmen, by the Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu. Shittu said “The good thing is that MTN did not contest the fact that they had violated the regulations and guidelines. They never contested it. They admitted they were at fault. They apologized for their role in the saga and they made a commitment that what happened will never happen again. And of course, they made a plea for review of the payment terms.” Adding that “The issue is now before Mr President. He will take the necessary decision at the appropriate time.

Nigerians at home are currently bracing for a blazing diplomatic row with Britain as the United Knigdom plans to deport over 500 Nigerians who have been resident in that country today. For over two weeks now, the affected Nigerians in the UK have been crying out to the Nigerian Government to come their rescue,but it appears their cry for help has fallen on deaf ears.

Sad enough too, the Nigerian Government has been uncomfortably silent on the allegation of Nigerian High Commission officials in the UK taking £3,000 bribe from UK officials to issue travel certificates to the affected Nigerians. The families of the affected Nigerians at home here are wondering why the government is not taking any action on the issue, when of course,it is common knowledge that the British Government will never condone its own citizens...
