Saka Will Port Back To Etisalat After 90 Days – CEO Etisalat Nigeria


The Chief Executive Officer, Etisalat Nigeria Mr.Steve 
Evans, has described the celebrated porting of the 
comedian Hafiz Oyetoro popularly known as Saka as 
a mistake, noting that he will return back to Etisalat 
fold after 90 days. 
Speaking in Lagos yesterday at a media Roundtable 
on Mobile Number Portability (MNP) , Evans noted 
that "We all make mistakes in life" and the decision 
by Saka to port from Etisalat to a rival network MTN 
Nigeria was one of such mistakes on the part of the 
comedian. 
In what could be regarded as one of the official 
statement by any high ranking staff of Etisalat since 
Saka ported over a month ago, Evans said he is 
hoping Saka would realise his mistakes and port back 
at the end of the 90 days grace period given by the 
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for 
subscribers to port back to any other his original 
network. 
The CEO noted that Etisalat was well prepared for the 
MNP and has built and expanded its network to 
accommodate over 30 million subscribers which is 
double its present capacity. 
He noted that his company has recorded very 
impressive results since the MNP kicked off on 
April22. Though he refused to provide the details but 
said he was satisfied with the report he was getting 
from his men on the field. 
Furthermore, Evans maintained that his company 
has improved tremendously in its Key Performance - 
indicator (KPI) ratings.
