The telecoms company said in a statement on Monday that Mr. Dabengwa will resign immediately and will be replaced by non-executive chairman Phuthuma Nhleko as the company continues to dialogue with the Nigerian government over the fine.
Nigerians on their part have been divided over the propriety of the NCC sanction against MTN.
Senator Ben Murray Bruce last week in a series of tweets, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene as safe the country from what he termed to be a bad sign to would-be foreign investors. He argued that NCC in trying to be firm and carry out its regulatory functions have shown Nigerian to be unfriendly to investors.
But there are those who oppose any compromise in the resolution of the issue, insisting that NCC as a regulatory agency must be seen to bite and not just bark. They argue that apart from MTN, there are at least two other telecommunication companies that are foreign. MTN according to these group of people play by the rules of the country where they operate.
