MTN Nigeria has restored a 1.49 terabyte data subscription to Oluwasegun Aluko, a lecturer resident in Ekiti State, less than 24 hours after an FIJ report. Aluko called FIJ on Tuesday and said that the network provider notified him of his subscription balance via X. He explained to FIJ that he had only used 10 gigabytes of the 1.5 terabytes he paid for. He also said it was FIJ’s pressure that facilitated the refund as he had tried to engage MTN for nearly one month without success.
