The dominant player in the nation’s telecommunication industry, MTN Nigeria, has concluded arrangements to deliver broadband Internet via its high-speed fibre network to Victoria Garden City, Ajah, Lagos.

Chief Enterprise Solutions Officer, MTN, Mr. Babatunde Osho confirmed this in a press statement made available to DigitalSENSE Business News on Wednesday in Lagos, stressing that the roll-out will ensure that residents enjoy speeds as high as 10 Mega bit per second (Mbps).

“That is more than four times the current speeds. This is the way to go because broadband has become a necessity for business and in our personal lives,” he said, adding that in order to meet this growing need, MTN Business has been in the business of delivering broadband internet service to estates, enabling residents access to internet-ready homes.

These estates, Mr. Osho said, include Dolphin Estate, Crown Estate, Mayfair Garden and Victoria Garden City.

He said the proliferation of internet-ready devices and interest in social media is driving more and more content to the web which increases the time spent on the web.

“And the better the broadband experience, the more we want to go online. To take this service up a notch and deliver even greater value to its residential customer base, MTN Business is in talks with VGC Estate management to explore the delivery of broadband Internet via its high-speed fibre network,” he said.

Also, he said that this is just the start of a short term plan to roll out fibre to the home in a number of estates and gated communities in Lagos.
