Vitel Wireless (Vitel) stated on Thursday that it has achieved a significant milestone in the Nigerian telecom sector by being the first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the country to be given a mobile number series by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The company claims that Vitel Wireless’ assignment of mobile number series 0712 marks a turning point in Nigeria’s developing MVNO sector.
It said: “Historically, the Nigerian MVNO market has been tightly regulated, with only a few players entering under stringent licensing requirements.”
“Vitel’s emergence as a fully licensed MVNO, complete with its own number series, highlights the country’s growing openness to competitive and innovative telecom solutions aimed at improving service delivery and accessibility.”
