MTN denies sacking Amina Oyagbola
MTN Nigeria has refuted a reported by saharareporters.com that it sacked Amina Oyagbola, the human resources and corporate service executive, over her complicity in the alleged bribery of Nigerian officials to reduce its fine.
While denying the report, the telecoms giant, in a statement released last night, said Oyagbola who served the organisation for 12 year, decided on her own to move on to something new.
The GSM brand also dismissed report that it paid bribe to the Federal Government to reduce the NCC fine from N1.04 trillion to N330 billion.
According to the statement,”To be clear, we state without equivocation that the story is untrue, malicious, defamatory, with the goal of damaging our hard-earned reputation, as well as that of our highly respected executive, Amina Oyagbola, who has served our company for 12 meritorious years.
“As we have stated at various times in the past, we categorically deny the accusation that MTN (or its employees) offered a bribe to a government official over the NCC fine.
“Secondly, there is absolutely no truth to the accusation that Mrs Amina Oyagbola who is our Human Resources and Corporate Services Executive was fired. She made the voluntary decision to resign after serving MTN for 12 years as the longest serving Executive, during this period she also served as a Director on the boards of the MTN Nigeria Foundation, MTN Benin and Visafone.
“Amina has made the decision to take a well-deserved break after almost 30 years of providing her leadership skills and expertise to various multinational organisations in corporate Nigeria.
“In conclusion, we would like to reassure our customers and stakeholders in the public and private sector that MTN continues to subscribe to the highest ethical standards in all its activities.We take great pains to ensure that we do business with honesty and integrity, and cherish our reputation. As such we will be considering all options (including legal) to redress this grave injustice against our brand.
“We want to take this opportunity to call on the publishers of the said article to immediately retract this falsehood and issue a public apology to MTN and Mrs Amina Oyagbola,” MTN said.
