Ondo shuts down MTN facilities over N458m unpaid taxes


In spite of MTN Nigeria denial of owing Ondo state government about N458 million in taxes and levies, the state has shut down its facilities thus leading to poor quality of service (QoS) to telecom subscribers.
MTN states that the closure of its facilities by the state government will negatively impact the quality of service in the state and environs and affect millions of subscribers. Some of the services that will be impacted are voice and data services, voice traffic across other operators and international traffic.
Others are enterprise data service to third-party clients (mostly banks and other corporate clients), which may in turn impact services such as ATMs, POS and others. This will lead to poor or total loss of network coverage for all MTN subscribers in Ondo. Today.ng reports.

Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
