Swift Telephone Network Receives Licence for Expansion
Swift Telephone Network Limited (STN) announced on September 30, 2026, that it has received a Unified Access Service Licence (UASL) from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), allowing it to provide telecommunications services nationwide. This licence marks a significant milestone in STN's efforts to expand its operations, which began in 1998 with a business centre supporting the National University Games.
The company became the first provider of digital landline services in Yaba in 2003 and has since evolved into an independent telecom operator. CEO Oluwole Adetuyi stated that STN aims to build a Nigerian telecommunications ecosystem by training local engineers and partnering with local vendors and international providers.
The company also plans to focus on digital inclusion to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities and create jobs through various services. While a specific rollout date and pricing structure have not been announced, Adetuyi indicated that strategic partnerships and infrastructure plans would be revealed as commercial operations commence.
