Privatisation of Nitel
Onda Analytics Limited, Oct 2009, Pages: 34
The Nigerian government is currently in the process of privatising Nigerian incumbent telecoms operator, NITEL. The company has been suffering from underinvestment in the past and has not been able to take advantage of the assets owned by the company. Meanwhile, a number of major telecoms operators have established themselves in the Nigerian market, leading to a competitive market in which NITEL has been marginalised.
This report looks at the prospect for investment in NITEL’s assets, focussing on its mobile assets and backbone network. The report analyses the background to the opportunity, including: the socioeconomic characteristics of Nigeria; the state of the fixed and mobile telecoms markets in Nigeria; NITEL’s current position in the Nigerian telecoms market. Further, the report assesses NITEL’s key assets and identifies strategies to best take advantage of them. Based on this analysis, the report forecasts the likely future development of both the Nigerian mobile market and NITEL’s place within it.
