A national digital economy agenda
Government strategy puts broadband, digital skills, digital government and innovation at the heart of economic growth. Operators that can deliver will be central to it.
The shift to data and faster networks
Customers are moving away from older networks toward 4G and 5G. A new operator can start where the market is going, not where it has been.
Communities still underserved
Many regions still lack reliable, affordable coverage. Serving them well is both a responsibility and a real commercial opportunity.
Mobile money and financial inclusion
Millions of people are joining the financial system through their phones. Telecom and financial services are converging, and customers want both from someone they trust.
AI as an accelerator
AI is transforming how networks run and how services are personalised. Building AI in from the start makes us faster, leaner and closer to customers.
Customers want networks that simply work: fewer drops, faster speeds, wider coverage.
Plans need to be simple, clear and within reach for more people.
People expect fast, human, digital-first support.
Our research with customers across Nigeria confirmed these gaps and shaped how we are designing our network, our offers and our service.
