The House of Representatives has expressed surprise at telecom firm, MTN's decision to pay the fine imposed on it by the Nigeria Communications Commission, NCC, for failing to disconnect unregistered lines.
MTN had agreed to pay $1.67bn over three years to the government. The fine was slashed from $5.2bn to $3.9bn to $1.67bn.
"We are still continuing with our investigation. We have today sent out letters to the minister of communications and the executive vice chairman of NCC (communications regulator) to appear before the House on Monday," Fijabi Akinade, chairman of the House's committee on communications.
"We want to know how they arrived at that decision and if it was done in good faith ... But honestly, we are surprised," Akinade said according to Reuters.
