A national long-distance operator license has been given to Bayobab Group by the Nigerian regulators. As a result, the business is able to provide nationwide long-distance telecom services across Nigeria.

The business made the announcement today, noting that its Nigerian affiliate has now been granted permission to enable long-distance traffic, helping to fulfill the country’s expanding data needs. The Nigerian license comes as Bayobab, a division of the MTN Group, increases the scope of its infrastructure services.

According to Bayobab, it is now in a position to significantly contribute to the nation’s connectivity objectives in line with the ambitious Fibre Ambitions Policy of the Nigerian Communications Commission.

Frédéric Schepens, CEO of Bayobab Group stated that the achievement marks a transformative moment for the company, as it looks forward to contributing to the growth and development of Nigeria’s digital economy.

Bayobab operates across countries like Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Cote d’Ivoire and South Africa. Additionally, it entered into a $320 million deal earlier this year to build the terrestrial fiber optic cable network Project East2West with infrastructure investment company Africa50.

Ten African nations are anticipated to be linked to the cable network by the project by 2025. It is anticipated that Project East2West’s success will lead to further expansion.

By the middle of 2023, Bayobab had added 3,000 kilometers of new fiber, bringing its total exclusive inventory up to an astonishing 108,000 kilometers. The business can use 16 undersea cables across Africa.

For cross-border fiber transit, Bayobab possesses an International Network License in Zambia, enhancing ties with surrounding countries.

The company is systematically converting the fiber assets of MTN Group to an open-access network through its subsidiaries, Bayobab Communications Platform and Bayobab Fibre. The telecom, hyperscaler, and digital infrastructure sectors are strengthened by this strategy.
