Telecommunications group MTN Nigeria has secured the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for the transfer and assignment of the 10 MHz frequency division duplex (FDD) in the 2.6 GHz spectrum band from OpenSkys Services to MTN Nigeria.

The additional spectrum, the licence of which is effective September 7 and due for renewal on April 16, 2033, will enable MTN Nigeria to enhance its network capacity, deploy network capacity more efficiently, enhance sustainability priorities and improve customer experience.

“The acquisition of an additional 10 MHz FDD in the 2.6 GHz spectrum band is an important milestone in the execution of our Ambition 2025 strategy,” said MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola.

“Not only will it help to support the growing demand for data in the country, but it will improve the overall Internet experience in line with our commitment to delivering quality service to our customers,” he said, concluding that the move also aligns with the company’s ongoing support of the federal government’s plan to deepen broadband penetration in Nigeria.
