MTN Nigeria on Thursday said that it
had completed the acquisition of
Visafone, the only surviving Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network
in Nigeria’s telecommunications
industry.
MTN Executive, Amina Oyagbola, made
this known in a statement in Lagos.
Ms. Oyagbola said the acquisition of
Visafone was in line with a continued
commitment by MTN to improve the
quality of broadband services for its
subscribers.
She said the acquisition, which sought to
leverage resources for service
enhancement, was also reflective of the
company’s concerted efforts to deepen
the growth and roll out of broadband
services across the country.
According to her, the acquisition of the
CDMA network was in support of the
National Broadband Plan, for the benefit
of Nigerians.
”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.
”This will translate to the much needed
enhanced data speeds and value to
enhance personal and business
productivity.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that
over 2,000 employees of Visafone were
disengaged with effect from January 5
and were paid three months salaries as
severance package.
The only employees said to been left are
those in the personnel and transmission
