Telecom operators directed to resume suspended services following regulatory dispute.
A court has ordered telecommunications companies MTN and Airtel to resume airtime lending services.
The ruling follows disputes affecting the availability of credit-based airtime access for subscribers.
The service allows users to borrow airtime and repay later through deductions.
The court’s decision is expected to restore access for millions of mobile users.
Neither MTN nor Airtel has issued a detailed public response to the ruling.
The telecom sector remains one of Nigeria’s most regulated and consumer-sensitive industries.
Regulatory bodies have previously intervened in service pricing and availability issues.
The order is expected to impact mobile service accessibility nationwide.
