MTN Group has received conditional approval from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) for its $6.2 billion acquisition of IHS Holding Limited. The regulator requires MTN to gradually sell down 30% of its stake in the Nigerian component of the business. Additionally, MTN Group announced a R6 billion ($375 million) share repurchase program following a strong first-half performance for 2026, which saw a 24.4% increase in EBITDA to R56 billion and a 6.7% rise in total subscribers. The company expects continued momentum in the second half of the year, driven by digital adoption and network infrastructure growth.
