By combining routers, flexible data plans, and nationwide network coverage, MTN aims to provide practical, cost-effective broadband solutions that meet the growing demand for high-speed internet while supporting Nigeria's digital transformation and expanding access to reliable connectivity for millions of users.
The development comes a few days after MTN Nigeria restored its XtraTime airtime and data lending services.
The telecom giant suspended the service after a new regulation from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
Nigerians slam MTN after CEO impossible unlimited data claims
Legit.ng earlier reported that MTN Nigeria is facing criticism from consumers and industry observers after its Chief Executive Officer, Karl Toriola, stated that truly unlimited mobile data plans do not exist globally.
The remarks have reignited concerns about data depletion and the quality of telecom services in Nigeria, according to Daily Trust.
The controversy comes amid growing complaints from subscribers who claim their data bundles are being exhausted faster than expected, leading to increased spending on internet services.
