This requires the continious upgrade and expansion of our infrastructure to enable us to deliver superior service. The EUR 100 million financing agreed with the EIB will accelerate 4G coverage, enhance network capacity and drive innovation that will benefit our customers.”

Ambroise Fayolle, EIB Vice President, said, “accelerating large-scale investment in telecom networks is essential to ensuring reliable access and enabling daily living and economic activity. The EIB is committed to unlocking transformational digital investment across Africa and is pleased to provide EUR 100 million backing for MTN Nigeria’s ambitious network expansion program.”

”Digital transformation offers Africa tremendous opportunity, and digitization is one of the priorities of the European Union partnership with Africa.
