MTN says that its subscriber base in the south and east African region represented 23% of the company's total subscriber base while west and central Africa contributed 44% and the Middle East and north Africa contributed 33%.
MTN Nigeria recorded a 1,4% increase in its subscriber base to 41,1-million users after new pricing plans allowed the net connection performance to improve with 459 000 new connections made.
