I'm not concerned on who wins, my concern is what NCC will do with the 273 million dollars(N111,984,600,000.00), ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN BILLION NAIRA, some people will start doing night vigil on how to steal it without trace....

Lol. You think building 5g infrastructure is free and cheap? The money they make today is not even enough to build a standard one for half of the country.

Why 273m dollars when the bid got as high as 250m dollars...?
Now, I see what MTN wanted to use the proceeds from the sales of shares for.

So you are just knowing?

Does it mean only MTN will operate 5G in Nigeria for now?

I am not sureb but what I think is that other internet service providers will have to go through both of them.

The NCC needed only two official bidders.




Airtel dropped at the 11th round

Mafab is a newcomer tech firm.

Mafab Communication and MTN came first and Second at today's 5G two slots auction.

MTN Nigeria cannot use the money for company’s transactions.

It is an offer for sale, not new share issue which means the shares are being sold by an existing shareholders (though a major one) and the proceeds will go to the seller, not the company.

If MTN Nigeria needs money, it has to either borrow or issue new shares to be sold, not the one it has sold in the past which the then buyers are now cashing out by selling.

I know it's not cheap, it's the Nigerian government I'm concerned about, the profit they will make from the networks which is supposed to benefit the citizens that will be misappropriated...

Who owns Mafab? Hope it's not like all these broke companies that bought the various DISCOs but can not invest money in them again?

The money raised today ($273m x2) is licence fees and goes to government pocket 100%.

The winners are now going to look for another funds to build and roll out the 5g infrastructure. It doesn’t concern government.
