SENATE TO UNMASK FACES BEHIND MTN N50BN PAYMENT- NNAJI

-           Senate has revealed its plans to unmask those behind the payment of N50billion by Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) to the Federal Government.

-          The Red Chamber also wants to know why MTN was directed to pay the money into a recovery account, rather than pay through Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC).

-          Senate Committee on Communications Chairman, Senator Gilbert Nnaji said the assurance was necessary following reports that the matter was abandoned due to the absence of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Justice Abubakar Malami at the investigative hearing.

-          In October 2015, NCC imposed a fine of N1.04 trillion on MTN for contravening the directive to deactivate 5.2 million unregistered subscribers on its network.
