MTN Nigeria is facing a potential N140 billion margin squeeze as diesel prices surge. To protect profitability and reduce carbon emissions, the company is accelerating its transition toward natural gas and alternative power infrastructure for its network and data centers. Despite Nigeria's gas reserves, structural supply shortages and an unreliable national grid continue to hinder the transition. Currently, diesel accounts for over 58 percent of the company's energy consumption, while solar remains below 1 percent.
