MTN pays Emir Sanusi II N442 million
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, had earned N442 million from MTN after the telecommunication giant returned to profit.
This marks an increase from the N412 million he earned in 2024, according to the company’s latest disclosures on board compensation. Sanusi, who joined MTN’s board as a non-executive director in July 2019, earned roughly R1.82 million (about N148 million) in retainer fees. He also received R1.37 million (around N112 million) for participating in board meetings, along with additional payments tied to strategy engagements and special assignments.
Within the company, he plays a role across several key committees, including Risk Management, Finance, and Social Ethics, contributing to oversight of operations and regulatory compliance in major markets such as Nigeria and Ghana. Analysts say the figures reflect the growing value placed on experienced non-executive directors, particularly in large multinational firms operating in Africa’s telecom sector
