On September 6, 2019, MTN Nigeria partially reopened its offices after a shutdown due to anti-South African attacks in the West African country.
The local unit of South Africa's MTN Group had closed all stores and service centers in Nigeria following attacks on its facilities in three cities. The attacks came after days of riots in South Africa targeting foreign-owned businesses, including those owned by Nigerians.
MTN Nigeria stated, 'The safety and security of our customers, staff, and partners is our primary concern.'
The company's shares hit a three-month high on the day of the partial reopening.
