The facility is structured with a two-year moratorium and a repayment plan of seven years and is denominated in Naira. This is the eighth syndicated loan agreement by MTN in Nigeria since its inception 18 years ago. Citibank acted as co-ordinator and Quantum Zenith as Facility Agent.
Speaking at the signing, CEO, MTN Nigeria, Ferdi Moolman, expressed enthusiasm at the completion of the agreement, saying it signposts the firm’s commitment to and confidence in Nigeria, and the strength of the strategic collaboration between MTN Nigeria and local financial institutions, that will help deepen and broaden the provision of ICT services in Nigeria.
