Airtel’s management reiterated the company’s steadfast commitment to expanding financial inclusion in Nigeria, especially through SmartCash PSB, Airtel’s subsidiary that provides underprivileged areas with easily accessible digital financial services.

They also described the company’s continuous efforts to improve service quality, increase network coverage, and close the digital divide.

This commitment was made during a high-level meeting with His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria where Airtel Africa Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal, KBE, and CEO Sunil Taldar also praised the government’s recent designation of telecom infrastructure as Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII).

They underlined that this strategy would be essential to preserving and growing Nigeria’s digital infrastructure and guaranteeing dependable connectivity for everybody.

Furthermore, Taldar emphasised Airtel Africa’s groundbreaking $57 million collaboration with UNICEF, which has since onboarded over 600,000 students and 1,260 schools into digital learning platforms such as the Nigerian Learning Passport (NLP).

This four-year-old initiative further demonstrates Airtel Africa’s commitment to educating the next generation with a tech-driven mindset.

Through its dedication to bolstering digital infrastructure and close collaboration with the Nigerian government, Airtel Africa is significantly contributing to the advancement of digital skills, financial inclusion, and connectivity. Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s digital economy is being strengthened in large part by these initiatives.
