This industry has achieved that with well over 100 million active subscribers in Nigeria of which MTN has 60 million subscribers as at the end of 2014; that dispensation was known as Telco 1.5. Now we are moving to Telco 2.0 which is characterized by full scale focus on data and digital services leveraging the power of the internet,” said Onajide.

She added that the Better Me campaign would build on the innovative drive among the youth and expose Nigerians from all walks of life to how they can see the positive value in the internet while using it to create experiences that are relevant to their peculiar circumstances and enjoying the way various digital and data products and services make their lives better.
