MTN Group has crossed one of the most defining milestones in its history: more than 300 million people now use its services across Africa and the Middle East. The Group's latest quarterly update, covering the period to 30 September 2025, shows a business gaining momentum across nearly all its markets, supported by improving economic conditions and a renewed drive to scale digital and financial services.
The upbeat performance was led by MTN Nigeria and MTN Ghana, which delivered standout revenue growth and sustained customer additions. MTN Nigeria, in particular, returned to positive retained earnings and restored its net equity position, allowing the company to resume dividends. This marks a major turnaround after several challenging years shaped by currency volatility and regulatory complexity.
Ralph Mupita, MTN Group President and CEO, said the Group's progress reflects both the resilience of its core operations and a sustained push to unlock growth in data, fintech and enterprise services. He noted that reaching more than 300 million customers is both a symbolic and strategic achievement for the Group. He added that the milestone strengthens MTN's commitment to expanding digital inclusion and creating pathways for broader socio-economic participation.
