The General Manager of Corporate Communication of MTN Nigeria, Funmilayo Omogbenigun, said: “The dismissal went with a series of internal reviews in the Customer Relations Division, specifically related to performance, values and standards.
“As per my previous response, the Customer Relations Division is repositioning itself for a incredible improvement in customer service delivery, and this necessitates an enhancement of the quality of its current resources. As a responsive and responsible corporate organization, we are devoted to providing a service that beats the expectations of our customers.”
She added: “With respect to MTN Nigeria, and the issue of an economic crunch, the company like every other business in Nigeria, has to a certain extent, experienced the generic fallout from a global recession.”
