Event Overview
Following the recent licensing of 43 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria is poised for a transformative shift in its telecoms landscape. In a move designed to boost competition, extend mobile coverage, and increase consumer choice, Africa Hyperscalers – a digital infrastructure platform committed to advancing Africa’s compute ecosystem – will convene an exclusive breakfast session to examine the emerging MVNO market in Nigeria.
Titled “MVNO Nigeria 2025: Unlocking Growth, Competition & Connectivity,” this high-level forum will bring together senior executives, mobile virtual network operators, regulators, investors, and policy stakeholders to explore the strategic and operational imperatives shaping Nigeria’s MVNO future.
The session will focus on three key objectives:
1. Clarifying the NCC’s MVNO licensing framework, including compliance tiers and expectations.
2. Highlighting commercial opportunities created by the entry of new MVNOs across various market segments.
3. Showcasing lessons from global and African MVNO success stories to inform sustainable local strategies.
Through candid dialogue and expert insight, the event aims to foster alignment among stakeholders and provide actionable perspectives on unlocking inclusive growth in Nigeria’s evolving telecom ecosystem.
