MTN announces closure of all shops in Nigeria
The decision to close all shops in Nigeria by MTN Nigeria has been prompted by the ongoing retaliatory xenophobic attacks in the country. The announcement was made via a tweet and comes in response to the attacks in South Africa that negatively affect Nigerians. In response to the situation, MTN Nigeria's CEO, Ferdi Moolman, issued a statement denouncing the attacks and expressing the company's stance against hate and prejudice. This decision follows widespread threats of boycotting South African products on social media. The company's closure of all its shops nationwide reflects the seriousness of the current situation and its impact on businesses.
