Background of the Study
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and business ethics play an essential role in shaping a company’s reputation and its relationships with stakeholders. In the Nigerian telecommunications sector, CSR initiatives have become a key strategy for companies to demonstrate their commitment to societal development, environmental sustainability, and ethical business practices. MTN Nigeria, a leader in the telecommunications industry, has been at the forefront of CSR activities aimed at addressing societal challenges such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure (Olajide & Adebayo, 2024).
The growing importance of CSR and business ethics in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry is driven by increased consumer awareness and pressure from government and regulatory bodies for companies to contribute to sustainable development. While MTN Nigeria has been involved in numerous CSR initiatives, questions remain regarding the effectiveness of these efforts in creating real societal value and enhancing the company’s ethical standards (Oluwaseun, 2023). This study analyzes the CSR practices of MTN Nigeria and their alignment with ethical business principles, assessing their impact on corporate reputation and business performance.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread adoption of CSR initiatives by Nigerian telecommunications companies, there is limited understanding of the actual impact of these practices on business performance and ethical standards. MTN Nigeria, while a leading player in CSR, continues to face challenges related to transparency, community trust, and the actual effectiveness of its ethical practices (Ajayi, 2023). This study examines the CSR strategies of MTN Nigeria, focusing on the alignment of these practices with business ethics and their impact on corporate performance.

- To assess the CSR practices of MTN Nigeria in terms of business ethics and their impact on corporate performance.

Research Questions

Research Hypotheses

- There is a significant relationship between CSR practices and business ethics at MTN Nigeria.
- Improved CSR and ethical practices at MTN Nigeria will lead to enhanced corporate performance and stakeholder trust.
