MTN
Nigeria has urged its customers not to pay more than the amount that is printed
on any MTN recharge card.
MTN’s Public Relations
and Protocol Manager, Mr Funso Aina, said in a statement on Friday in Lagos
that the company had not increased prices of recharge cards
“MTN Nigeria hereby use
this medium to inform all its subscribers that it has not increased the prices
of recharge cards.
“The cost of recharge
cards remain the face value stated on the physical vouchers.
“Any increment from any
quarters across the country on our recharge cards is without our knowledge,”
Aina said.
He said that the
telecommunications provider had taken quick steps to ensure compliance on sales
of its recharge cards at the stated face value by its trade partners and
retailers.
“While we are working
assiduously to resolve claims of illegal increases, we apologise to our
customers for any inconvenience this might have caused.
“Alternatively, we
advise our customers to explore other options of purchasing airtime such as MTN
Virtual Top Up (VTU), Diamond Yello Account (DYA) or MTN Auto Top-up,” AINA
said.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that the service provider has been sending Short
Messaging Service (SMS) to its customers on the purported increase on prices of
recharge cards.
It reads: ‘Dear
customer, please do not agree to pay more than the amount that is printed on
any MTN recharge card. Remember – what you see is what you pay!’.
