    According to Chief Executive Officer, Karl Toriola, the improved financial position enabled the company to accelerate network investments aimed at enhancing service quality and customer experience.

    As part of that strategy, MTN disclosed that it committed N1 trillion in capital expenditure during the year, channeling funds into network expansion, fibre infrastructure, and base station development. 

    The company said the scale of investment reflects its commitment to reinvesting earnings locally, while also generating employment and expanding digital access nationwide.

    Positioning itself as the most valuable listed firm on the Nigerian Exchange, MTN also reiterated its focus on driving local wealth creation. 

    With millions of Nigerian shareholders, the company encouraged broader participation in the country’s digital economy, assuring investors that sustained capital investment would underpin long-term value and shareholder returns.
