MTN Nigeria has reinforced its position as a major driver of the non oil economy after reporting N5.2 trillion in service revenue in its 2025 audited financial results. The telecommunications giant described the year as a period of strong recovery and resilience, marking a return to profitability and financial stability.
According to the company, its performance goes beyond impressive revenue growth. As one of the largest corporate taxpayers in the country, MTN Nigeria emphasized that its profitability directly supports government infrastructure projects and social welfare programmes, strengthening its role in national development.
Chief Executive Officer Karl Toriola stated that 2025 represented a significant turning point for the business. He highlighted the company resilient balance sheet and renewed profitability, which enabled accelerated investment in network infrastructure to improve service quality and customer experience across the country.
In a clear demonstration of its long term commitment to Nigeria digital economy, MTN disclosed that it invested N1 trillion in capital expenditure during the year. The substantial investment was directed toward expanding network coverage, building new base stations, deploying fibre optic infrastructure, and enhancing overall connectivity. The move also supported job creation and local economic activity.
The company noted that its ability to sustain heavy capital spending while navigating economic headwinds reflects improved macroeconomic conditions and supportive government policies. It commended ongoing reforms aimed at stabilizing the business environment and encouraging private sector growth.
As the most valuable listed company on the Nigerian Exchange Limited, MTN Nigeria also reiterated its commitment to promoting local wealth creation. With millions of direct and indirect shareholders, the firm encouraged Nigerians, particularly young investors, to participate in the country digital transformation through equity ownership.
Looking ahead, MTN pledged to maintain robust capital investment strategies designed to deliver sustainable long term returns while expanding digital access nationwide.
