Nigeria’s antitrust regulator has mandated MTN Group to divest a 30% stake in its Nigerian tower unit to local investors as a prerequisite for approving its $6.2 billion acquisition of IHS Holdings, aiming to boost local ownership in the telecom sector.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Nigeria's insistence on local ownership stakes in telecom infrastructure shifts deal execution pressure onto local capital markets, requiring you to factor funding delays and new local partnerships into your entry or expansion plans.
