Celtel Commits $1bn To Quality Improvement

Pursuant to its goal of providing 20 million subscribers with unimpeded quality of service, Celtel Nigeria yesterday announced some measures, including committing $1 billion for that purpose this year.

It is also considering the provision of self-destruct generators to discourage generator theft from its cell sites.

The company’s Chief Executive, Mr. Bayo Ligali, made the announcement at the commissioning of a $6 million new switch centre in Abuja, recently.

He further outlined other steps being taken to attain its aims as the start of work on its 4,000km fibre-optic transmission backbone project being executed by Nokia-Siemens Networks.

He said: “We intend to double our switching capacity from 10 million to 20 million subscribers this year. Today, we were launching one into operational service.  Next week, we shall launch another one in Kaduna. One each will be launched in Kano and Benin in the coming weeks with a total this year of 17 throughout the country.”
