In March 2019, NCC rejigged teledensity computation in line with rebased 190 million population figure given by the National Population Commission (NPC), up from the 140 million population of 2006.

MTN retained its top spot as a telecom service provider in Nigeria controlling 37.89% GSM market share with 74,933,684 subscribers.

TechEconomy.ng’s analyses show that Globacom is the highest gainer with the addition of 894,565 followed by Airtel 366,422 and MTN with 243,879, while 9mobile lost 71,992 subscribers in the month under review. Visafone has since ‘transferred’ its spectrum to MTN.

Meanwhile, industry watchers believe the March results show the resilience of the operators that have been impacted by the recent issues surrounding the NIN-SIM integration policy of the government.
