Dominant telecom operator in Nigeria, MTN, lost 2.09 million subscibers between January and March this year, New Telegraph, has learnt.

The telco, which had 67.1million active subscibers at the end of 2018, ended March 2019 with 65 million active customers, according to statistics released by Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

However, the decline in number of subscibers could not stop the company from generating N282 billion from voice and data service in the first months of the year, as revealed in its recently released Q1 result.

As at the end of March, MTN still remained the largest telecom operator by subscibers in the country with 37 per cent share of the market.

While MTN lost 531,283 million active subscibers in the month, other GSM operators, Globacom, Airtel and 9mobile gained more subscibers.
