Airtime Lending Restored After Court Order
A court in Nigeria has directed MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria to immediately restore airtime lending services after a dispute that led to the suspension of the feature for subscribers across the country.
The order was issued following legal action over the sudden halt of the service, which many users rely on to borrow airtime during emergencies.
The court ruled that the companies must resume operations while the matter continues in court.
The decision came after complaints that the suspension affected millions of customers, disrupting communication and daily activities.
The court held that the service plays a vital role for users who depend on short-term airtime credit.
With the ruling now in place, both telecom firms are expected to comply and reactivate the service without delay, even as the broader case over the disagreement remains unresolved.
