Lebara Nigeria Launches Self-Service Telecom Operations

On 16 September 2026, Lebara Nigeria commenced commercial operations across the country, marking the introduction of Nigeria's first fully self-service customer onboarding experience in the telecommunications sector. Licensed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Lebara Nigeria aims to provide affordable and reliable voice, SMS, and data services while enhancing customer control over mobile services.

A key feature is the self-service Know Your Customer (KYC) registration, allowing users to verify their identity from home via the My LebaraNG application. For those preferring in-person assistance, agents are available at Slot stores nationwide.

The company offers both physical SIM cards and eSIMs, catering to diverse customer preferences. Lebara Nigeria's mobile bundles are designed to meet evolving consumer needs, featuring transparent usage tracking and Buy Now, Pay Later options.

The company operates as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), leveraging existing telecommunications infrastructure to focus on customer experience and service delivery. Lebara Nigeria is part of the London-based Lebara Group and is classified as a Tier 5 MVNO.
