Will MTN Nigeria officially announce the resumption of its “XtraTime” airtime borrowing service before Saturday, April 25, 2026?

Outcome: NO

How this forecast is settled

The suspension of airtime lending services is tied to regulatory compliance under new digital lending rules, not technical issues. In such cases, service resumption typically depends on alignment with regulators and internal policy adjustments, which rarely happens immediately without formal clearance.

Resolution

NO, MTN Nigeria did NOT officially announce the resumption of its "XtraTime" service before Saturday, April 25, 2026. As of today, the service remains indefinitely suspended while the company works to comply with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC)'s new digital lending framework. The most recent official communication (April 16) confirmed the pause, and no "Resumption Notice" has been issued since.
