From Etisalat to 9Mobile to T2: The Tumultuous Journey of Nigeria’s Fifth GSM Operator
The article traces the tumultuous journey of Nigeria's fifth GSM operator, from its inception as Etisalat in 2007 to its rebranding as 9mobile and now as T2. Despite initial success and a subscriber base of over 16 million, Etisalat faced financial difficulties and operational challenges, leading to its exit from the market in 2017.
The rebranding to 9mobile aimed to give the company a fresh start, but it continued to struggle against larger competitors like MTN and Airtel. The latest rebranding to T2, backed by new investor Lighthouse Telecoms, signals a fresh start and a commitment to reclaim lost market share.
The success of T2 will depend on its ability to deliver a faster, reliable network and innovative products to win back customers in Nigeria's competitive telecom sector.
