MTN Nigeria Communication Plc will provide smartphone access to 365,000 Nigerians by 2023.
Through its device financing cooperation with Intelligra, the telecommunications company expects to accomplish this objective. This arrangement will enable consumers to get cell phones with a “buy now, pay later” option.
Only approximately 44 percent of Nigerians have access to cell phones, according to the Alliance for Affordable Internet. Smartphones provide access to the digital world, but their exorbitant cost prevents many Nigerians from purchasing one.Infomation Guide Nigeria
