MTN Nigeria’s Corporate Executive, Amina Oyagbola, has said that the acquisition of the only surviving Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operator in the country, Visafone, will leverage resources for service enhancement and is reflective of MTN’s efforts to deepen the growth and roll-out of broadband services across the country in support of the National Broadband Plan for the benefit of Nigerians.
Oyagbola said, “We are committed to exploring avenues for meeting our customers’ increasing data needs in line with our vision to lead the delivery of a bold new digital world to our customers.
“As we work to maximise our data capabilities towards achieving broadband of international quality, our objective is to ensure that Nigerians experience a boost in the quality of broadband Internet services translating to the much needed enhanced data speeds and value to enhance personal and business productivity.”
She added, “The acquisition of Visafone highlights MTN’s commitment to Nigeria. More capacity will facilitate enhanced product/service offerings and experience in the data space to the delight of our valued customers.”
“Voice is still king. However, data is becoming increasingly important in our everyday lives and our energies are focused on enhancing data and Internet services to the benefit of our customers and the country at large.”
Visafone is the only surviving Code Division Multiple Access company in Nigeria offering a number of services, including voice, high-speed data (3G), Internet and other Value Added Services.
