About 9Mobile & Ntel

Ntel is owned by NatCom Development & Investment Ltd. (NatCom) and acquired the assets of State Owned Mtel and Nitel through a liquidation process that was concluded in 2015.

The company commenced operations in 2016 and started with broad band services. This move is expected to usher in its voice services, a segment considered the largest for GSM companies.

9Mobile is currently embroiled in a debt debacle with a consortium of Nigerian banks over loans which it has failed to repay. Regulators, CBN and NCC stepped in to stop the company from being taken over by the banks and broken into pieces and is currently midwifing a sale to strategic investors.

The CBN Governor informed reporters recently that the buyer should be announced by the end of this year. 9Mobile is Nigeria’s 4th largest GSM service provider.
