African telecommunications giant, MTN has announced its plans to invest N600billion to further spread broadband access in Nigeria over the next three years. This was made known to the public at the 20 years anniversary ceremony held for its customers and a cross-section of media professionals held at its corporate headquarters in Ikoyi. MTN had also rewarded 20 customers with brand new cars at the event, with the winners being randomly selected from subscribers joining the network on MTN’s anniversary since inception in 2001.
Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, Chairman of MTN Nigeria mentioned that MTN was fully prepared for the digital journey which Nigeria is embracing, especially the march towards the 5G mobile technology era. He further said: “When we look at where we are today, and how far we’ve come, what stands out is not just the number of people connected or the amount of revenue generated. We see the multiplier effect connectivity services can have on the social and economic ecosystem. And now more than ever, I am optimistic about what the future holds for Nigeria’s digital economy and I look forward to building it together, with all of you.”
According to the CEO of MTN, Mr. Karl Toriola, the 20-year journey is the result of the immense possibilities in Nigeria, the incredible potential that the Nigerian telecoms and technology sector represent, and the guidance and support that MTN has received from millions of Nigerians, in every corner of the country. He further said: “We are here today because of the role that each of you; media, customers, trade partners, retailers, has played in this journey. For this, we are humbled and grateful. To all of you, we extend our deepest appreciation and gratitude, and we deliver an important message – the best is yet to come.”
MTN is Nigeria’s premier provider of connectivity, communication and collaboration solutions, and the largest privately owned mobile operator in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. From the first phone call made at Maritime House, Apapa in 2001, MTN Nigeria has been focused on making connections that matter. Since then, the continued support and patronage of its customers have enabled the company to grow into Nigeria’s leading mobile telecommunications provider serving over 52 million subscribers, with truly national coverage and a fibre network that reaches every state in the nation. MTN Nigeria is deeply committed to the progress of our people and the growth of the economy (with over N2 trillion invested since 2001).
