NTEL Nigeria is the first Telecommunications company in Nigeria to launch a 4G LTE service. At the inception of NTEL services, they only offered unlimited internet data access, but now they have both unlimited data access and capped data volumes.
The beginning of the ntel story can be traced to the acquisition of core telecom assets previously owned by Nigeria’s national fixed and mobile operators- NiTel/MTel- by NatCom Development & Investment Ltd. (NatCom) in a liquidation process supervised and approved by Nigeria’s Bureau of Public Enterprises and a court-appointed liquidator. This liquidation process was concluded in May, 2015.
