MTN Group ends four-month multi-billion dollar dividend repatriation row with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The Nigerian Communications Commission is confident the dispute between MTN and central bank will be resolved soon.

A court has adjourned the case between MTN and the Nigerian central bank to 22 January 2019.

A court case over an $8.1 billion dispute between MTN and Nigeria's central bank has been pushed out as the parties try agree on a settlement.

MTN's $10 billion battle with the Nigerian authorities could increase the risk to SA's financial system depending on the outcome, says the South African Reserve Bank.

MTN South Africa made more average revenue per user in the quarter ended 30 September, despite losing 705 000 customers.

The group added 2.5 million new subscribers in the third quarter, boosted by strong performances in Nigeria and Ghana, while MTN SA lost customers.

The Nigerian central bank's demand for MTN to repatriate $8.1 billion does not bode well for the country's image as a favourable investment destination, analysts agree.

Nigeria's central bank governor says the $8.1 billion it is demanding from MTN could be decreased.

The Central Bank of Nigeria says it is reviewing information with a view to reaching an equitable resolution to the $8.1 billion MTN repatriation issue.

Nigeria's $10 billion demand makes MTN's planned IPO in the country pretty challenging and awkward, says group CFO Ralph Mupita.

The MTN Group is hit with a $2 billion Nigerian tax bill, marking the operator's latest skirmish with authorities in its most lucrative market.
