An international telecom investor-operator, Orange Group, has vowed to play a big part in the Nigerian telecom sector including mobile, data, fixed and financial technology support services.

Mrs. Victoria Adefala, stated this when she led a six-member team of Orange Middle East and Africa, on a visit to the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta in Abuja at the weekend.

She said the group is fully determined to do all it takes to get a slice of the Nigerian market.

“We are here to ensure steady investment for a long term. We also want to support the vision of the Commission in driving broadband penetration for a robust digital economy and leverage on local content development initiatives,” she said.

Adefala said Nigeria is missing in Orange Group’s portfolio of combined networks of over 140 million subscribers across 18 countries of its operations.

“The large market potentials buoyed by the huge population, impressive Gross Domestic product (GDP) figure, proximity to our operations in the neighbouring African countries, as well as the appreciable friendly operating environment are great motivators for our expansion plan into the Nigerian telecom market”.

In his remarks, Danbatta, who welcomed the group’s decision to invest in Nigeria, reassured the delegation of a robust policy and regulatory environment that provides a quality enabling environment.

He said the Commission has also taken several other regulatory steps aimed at improving the operational environment such as the ongoing collaboration with Nigerian Governor’s Forum (NGF) to reduce RoW charges on telecom infrastructure deployments; signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with various government and institutional stakeholders across the country; developed guidelines and regulations to promote colocation of infrastructure, upheld a fair competitive operating environment, among others.

“We welcome more investments into the Nigerian telecom sector. We have enabling laws and regulations that help us to engender a highly competitive telecom market that benefits both the service providers and the consumers. NCC is here to ensure we support our licensees to thrive while also ensuring that they comply with Quality of Service (QoS) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) set by the Commission because Nigerians will patronise an operator that provides them with affordable services at highest quality,” he said.

Wow
First to comment,


We need more of them to enable more competition.

Orange has a big pocket. They should inherite 9mobile and grow from there.

Ps: I have been hearing about Orange investing in Nigeria for over 4-8 years now. I hope things will change this time.

Nice

Hmmn

Orange is another better top notch

Welcome development.
Long overdue

Orange in 9ja finally

We can't wait to see them o

Abeg let them come oo.

The more the coys, the more the competition and the better the offers and services.

Even the head of NCC is a Northerner. Olosho Southern men. They only have power to demand fake submission from their wives while other men are dominating them.

Let them come and rival MTN, Glo and others have failed us

Let them come please....I'm so tired of our usual network here!! And trust Nigerians to always go with the new flow....Lol

Another South African brand again. We should be careful with the way we keep bedding these people

To come into a sector that currently faces over 39 forms of taxes, a srratified and duopolistic sector where the fringe players are on the threat of extinction. The large population we brandish is becoming a useless advantage for business. A population that will not spend. Hence you see some of these companies exiting. What is the usefulness of a large illiterate and dehumanized population

If you don't have anything reasonable to say why not go back to sleep.

This is a wrong time for them to invest in Nigeria; the cost of running biz is very high, unstable economy, directionless govt policies, how will they establish and run their structures all over the country in the midst of this insecurity??...wonder what they've been looking at all these years. Just hope they did their Feasibility Studies well....wish them all the best!
