2.3GHz auction: Omoniyi links BitFlux win to divine providence


The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of VDT Communications, Mr. Biodun Omoniyi has attributed the recent win of 2.3G spectrum auction by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to divine providence, reports DigitalSENSE Business News.

He also gave kudos to NCC and Globacom for the successful auction exercise last week.

DigitalSENSE Business News recalls that VDT Communications Limited is the leading member of the Bitflux Communications consortium which also has Bitcom Systems Limited and Superflux International Limited as members.

Noteworthy is that Bitflux Communications Limited emerged the winner of the keenly contested 2.3G spectrum bid at Transcorps Hilton Abuja on February 19, 2014, with over 27 industry giants initially filing in for the auction, most of whom withdrew or did not qualify beyond the expression of interest before auction where Bitflux emerged the highest bidder with USD23.251million.

Omoniyi who spoke to DigitalSENSE Business News soon after the auction was concluded attributed the consortium’s victory to divine intervention.

“We are also grateful to NCC for its integrity, transparency and observation of fair rules in the bidding process and for promoting a healthy communication industry,” he said, stressing that BitFlux sees Globacom as big brother in the industry and support for the growth of younger players in the industry.

The Marketing Communications Manager, VDT Communications Limited, Mr. David Ese notes that BitCom Systems Nigeria Limited is a system integrator, Value-Added Reseller and installation service provider for a wide array of microwave, and broadband radio telecommunications products. Bitcom brings its many years of experience and insight to bear on the provision of premium seamless integration of myriad of multi-vendor and multi-purpose applications.


On the hand, he disclosed to DigitalSENSE Business News that Superflux is an indigenous conglomerate that has investments in the biggest securities printing outfit in Africa. It also provides secure and communication print solutions to a wide range of clients. Its key print supplies include bank cheques, dividend warrants, certificates, tickets to name a few. Superflux is seeking to be the leading facilitator and backbone for secure transaction, documentation, processing and communication, guaranteeing world class process integrity.
