President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved nine new companies to provide airtime and data credit services to Nigerians, a move aimed at improving digital access and financial inclusion across the country.
The newly licensed firms will enable mobile users to borrow airtime and data when they run out of credit, offering greater convenience and helping millions stay connected for communication, business, and online activities.
Industry experts believe the approval will encourage competition in the telecommunications sector, improve service delivery, and provide consumers with more options. The development is also expected to support Nigeria’s growing digital economy by making connectivity more accessible to citizens.
The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to expanding digital services and promoting innovation within the country’s telecommunications and financial technology sectors.
