MTN Partners Landafrique to deliver High-speed Internet to Agbara Estate

MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has entered into partnership with Landafrique Nigeria Limited to deploy fibre-optic infrastructure connecting homes and businesses in Agbara Estate in Lagos.

The partnership spans 10 years, and covers the deployment of MTN FibreNet Broadband internet services with at least 5 Megabits per second (Mbps) and internet throughput to each housing unit; as well as industrial and commercial units within the estate.

The Chief Operating Officer, MTN Nigeria, Mazen Mroue, stated this in a statement following the signing of an agreement on the partnership at a formal ceremony held at MTN Nigeria’s Headquarters in Lagos on Wednesday.

Mroue said that fibre-optic infrastructure technology allows for increased network performance, as well as higher speeds over a long distance.

“At MTN, we believe that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life.

“The installation of the MTN FibreNet Broadband in Agbara Estate will see to it that residents are always connected with incredible speeds, leading to increased performance either at work or at home,” he said.

The Chief Executive Officer, Landafrique, Paulo Cruz, said that Landafrique has full confidence that residents of Agbara Estate would enjoy faster and more reliable network connectivity following the deployment of MTN’s fibre-optic infrastructure within the estate.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that MTN has installed the same infrastructure in Dakkada Luxury Estate, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and has recently revealed plans to invest US$1.5 billion over the next three years to increase broadband across the country. (NAN)
