MTN Nigeria Addresses Data Misconceptions at Abuja Event

Hon. Peter Akpatason, a member of the House of Representatives representing Akoko-Edo federal constituency of Edo State, stated that the belief among many Nigerians regarding data depletion is a misconception. This was revealed during the "Data on Trial" event organized by MTN Nigeria in Abuja.

Akpatason explained that subscribers actually consume all data they purchase and that many misconceptions about data management have been clarified. He noted that factors like phone model and usage patterns contribute to data consumption.

MTN Nigeria's CEO, Karl Toriola, emphasized the company's commitment to transparency and customer trust, stating that the event aimed to address customer discomfort regarding disappearing data. General Manager of Network Performance and Quality Assurance, Michael Ndukwe, also contributed to the discussion on data consumption factors.

Akpatason encouraged further investment in the telecommunications sector, highlighting its significance next to the oil industry.
