The Nigerian Communications Commission closed Nokia’s office in the country because it claimed that company had failed to pay a licence fee amounting to $6,300.
Nokia has operated in Nigeria for over a decade, and as in all other markets where it has had a presence, it states that it has conducted business with sound corporate governance. “We are always mindful that our business success is based upon superior commercial propositions and long-lasting partnerships with regulators, governments, suppliers, customers, partners and employees in all our markets.
“We take our responsibilities and obligations very seriously to build a sustainable industry that contributes to the growth of local economies. Nokia remain fully committed to acting in accordance with applicable requirements and regulations when delivering world-class connectivity solutions to the Nigerian market, in adherence with Nokia's culture of high-performance, innovation and integrity,” a Nokia statement read.
