Telecommunication company, Airtel has announced its plans to deploy 4G network in Nigeria. The Indian transnational telecommunications company will be carrying out this project in partnership with ZTE (Chinese telecommunications company). You will recall that Airtel was the first mobile network to successfully deploy 4G network in Nigeria. Although, this was done within Lagos state.
Commenting on the partnership with ZTE, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, said, “This is a new dawn for mobile Internet in Nigeria. Airtel and ZTE’s collaboration to roll out 4G service pan Nigeria will dramatically improve mobile Internet experience for telecoms consumers across the country.
“Indeed, Airtel is committed to strengthening its position as a true pioneer of innovation in the Nigerian telecommunications domain, as this is in line with our overall corporate vision of becoming the mobile Internet service provider of first choice for every Nigerian.”
Also speaking on the planned 4G deployment across Nigeria, the Regional Vice President of ZTE Corporation, Mr. Zhang Ruigang commented: “As a reliable partner, ZTE will cooperate with Airtel Nigeria to build the first-class 4G LTE network, and provide the best long-term service to Airtel Nigeria.”

This plays out well for the growing internet users in Nigeria. Airtel internet service already has a reputation for being fast; this development should expectedly raise the ante in terms of the maximum internet speed possible on the network.

The collaboration is quite good but Airtel should reduce the cost of the purchase of their 3G data bundles. I hope this 4G will be good in the area where I live.
Same here, it’s expensive, but sometimes fast
Okay, I for one has been expecting this news. Airtel is dubbed the smartphone network, they should get it done as soon as possible because the market is flooded with 4G devices these days.
They’d better catch up fast
Most of the flooding didn’t prepare well before stepping up, so we have a lot of slow 4G’s
you can say that again
But wait, i thought the company ZTE owns Airtel, i use to see that name on almost anything Airtel
I heard that airtel network is fast in my area though not using it. don’t know much about their data plan and the rest.
They should improve their network first. Thou its a welcome development
That’s cool tho I hope their data prices doesn’t increase with the plan
It is a welcomed invention anyways
ZTE …uhmm…ets nt as cool as Huwaei tho
Ok i cannot wait to start enjoying 4G service on airtel
