MTN Group strongly advised its shareholders to continue to exercise caution in dealing with the company's securities, adding that it was in negotiations with the Federal Government.
"To this end, we shall await clarity and further guidance on the fine from the Federal Government of Nigeria. Shareholders are therefore advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the company's securities until a further announcement is made by MTN," the company said, according to the statement.
