MTN Nigeria Announces a New Spectrum Lease Agreement with T2 Mobile Limited

MTN Nigeria announces a new spectrum lease agreement with T2 Mobile, and this is great news for people who want better phone and internet service. MTN Nigeria Communications Plc shared that they will lease some of T2 Mobile Limited’s spectrum, the airwaves phones use to connect. This deal means MTN will use 5 MHz in the 900 MHz band and 15 MHz in the 1800 MHz band for three years starting October 1, 2025.

This new spectrum lease agreement from MTN Nigeria changes how they handle their network. It also ends their old agreement with Natcom Development and Investment Limited (NTEL), which was running out in November 2025. That old deal included some airwaves in 17 states, but now the new deal with T2 Mobile will take over. This switch is expected to help MTN Nigeria improve network capacity and make their service better for users across the country.

One important part of MTN Nigeria’s new spectrum lease agreement with T2 Mobile is the national roaming arrangement. This means that when T2 Mobile’s network isn’t strong in certain places, their subscribers can use MTN’s network instead. This roaming helps users stay connected without interruptions, whether they are in cities or in more rural areas with weak signals.

Uto Ukpanah, the Company Secretary at MTN Nigeria, explained that this deal mixes sharing of the spectrum with national roaming. He said it will boost MTN’s network power and also help with the bigger goal of digital inclusion in Nigeria. MTN wants to work with other telecom companies, share infrastructure, and make digital services available to more people.

Karl Toriola, MTN Nigeria’s CEO, said the new spectrum lease agreement fits well with their Ambition 2025 plan. This plan aims to give people a strong, reliable internet and phone connection in a way that is both good for customers and friendly to the environment. He mentioned that by leasing additional spectrum from T2 Mobile, MTN can offer better network service without spending a lot on new equipment.

Toriola also pointed out that MTN is working with other players in the telecom industry, including signing a national roaming deal with T2 Mobile and working with Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). These efforts help MTN to keep improving, keep prices fair, and support Nigeria’s digital growth.

For MTN Nigeria customers, this new spectrum lease agreement with T2 Mobile means a better experience. People can expect stronger signals, fewer dropped calls, and faster data speeds. This will be especially helpful in busy cities where many people use the network and in rural areas that have had trouble with good coverage.

This agreement shows a growing trend of companies working together in Nigeria’s telecom sector. Instead of buying new spectrum all the time, companies can share it. This sharing saves money and helps protect the environment. MTN Nigeria’s new spectrum lease agreement with T2 Mobile is a smart way to grow networks and improve service for everyone.

Experts think this kind of cooperation will encourage other telecom companies to make similar deals. More partnerships like this could lead to better prices, new kinds of phone and internet services, and more people getting online.

Beyond just better phone calls and the internet, this deal helps support Nigeria’s digital economy. More and better network coverage means people can use digital tools for learning, business, health, and government services. Bringing more people online helps the country grow in ways that include everyone.
