Telco giant, MTN has partnered with Jumia, a leading online retail store, to provide six-month free internet access for customers that purchase any Internet-enabled phones from the retail store.
Kola Oyeyemi, MTN’s General Manager, Consumer marketing stated that ‘the world has turned to one big digital village, and MTN is determined to harness the endless potentials provided by innovative technology and make this available to its Nigerian customers.’ He further reiterated that MTN is committed to bringing world class technology and services to the Nigerian market and would continue to be one step ahead of the competition.
“Over the years, MTN has continued to cross boundaries to being the first in the provision of innovative technological solutions to the needs of its subscribers with its endless slew of products that are well-acclaimed by Nigerians to have brought excitement and satisfaction to its consumers.
“The telecommunications sector in Nigeria has overtime evolved from concentrating solely on voice and text messages but has also come to incorporate data provision. Innovations and technology has provided other means by which people stay connected.”
He explained that Nigeria is the largest mobile market in Africa and the 10th largest in the world, adding that with the gradual death of the fixed-line, there’s little surprise that the mobile device has long-since surpassed the PC as the way that Nigerians access the web and with the advancement of technology.
According to him, accessing the Internet on mobile device is now the norm, saying that MTN has continued to lead the charge in ICT penetration and creating a whole new world experience on mobile, especially for those on its network.
