A Nigerian court has directed MTN and Airtel to resume airtime lending services, restoring a feature widely used by millions of subscribers across the country.
- Background: Airtime lending services allow customers to borrow credit for calls and data, repaying later with a small surcharge.
- Court Decision: The ruling comes after disputes over service suspension, with the court emphasizing consumer rights and access to essential telecom services.
- Impact: The decision is expected to ease frustrations among subscribers who rely on airtime loans, especially in emergencies.
This marks a significant development in Nigeria’s telecom sector, reinforcing regulatory oversight and consumer protection.
