As the long awaiting Mobile Number Portability for GSM operators in Nigeria kicks off, Airtel has expressed its readiness to absorb the influx of requests from consumers who wish to port to its network.

Airtel Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. SegunOgunsanya assured that with Airtel’s robust and expanded 3.75g network coverage, many Nigerian subscribers who had waited so long to join the “best friends’ network” could finally exploit the window offered by the MNP to realise their wishes.

Ogunsanya further stated that Airtel is excited with the kick-off of MNP, saying it was the first telecoms operator in the country to move for the adoption of MNP during its historic brand launch event, which held on November 19, 2010 at the Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

“I am happy to inform you that we have done all our homework and we are fully ready for the MNP go-live date. Airtel has transformed its network, investing over $1.5bn to improve network efficiency and quality. Airtel was the first telecoms operator to complete 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) Trial in Nigeria and also the first service provider to roll out HD (High Definition) Voice in the country.

“It is on record that Airtel has the largest and widest 3.75G coverage in Nigeria and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) recently scored us high in key Quality of Service parameters, saying we met all targets in a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measurements carried out in December, 2012,” he said.
