ntel Launches WakaGo eSIM for Global Travellers

ntel, a Nigerian telecommunications operator, is targeting international travellers with its WakaGo eSIM product as part of its strategy to expand digital connectivity beyond Nigeria. This initiative follows ntel's success at MVNO Nation Europe 2026, where it won 'The Hunt: Searching for the Next Great MVNO' competition held in Alicante, Spain, from November 3 to 5. ntel's Chief Officer, Kingsley Uwazie, represented the company and presented its Next Frontier relaunch strategy to an international panel of judges.

WakaGo is designed to provide mobile connectivity for travellers, allowing them to access mobile data in various countries without changing SIM cards. However, ntel will face competition from established international eSIM providers.

The company's success will depend on competitive pricing, reliable partnerships, and customer experience. The award signifies international recognition for ntel, but the challenge remains in converting this achievement into sustainable revenue growth.
