The leading technology firm said the transformation marks a significant stride in delivering next-generation internet solutions across the nation in line with the country’s National Broadband Plan (NBP) 2020–2025, which aims to achieve 70 per cent broadband penetration by 2025, ensuring minimum speeds of 25 Mbps in urban areas and 10 Mbps in rural regions. MTN Nigeria explained that the new name was adopted to create a more customer-friendly brand. The new name embodies a more modern, relatable, and emotionally resonant brand that is positioned to lead the conversation around what premium internet should feel like. The goal is to educate and excite consumers within home-passed locations (the potential number of premises within a service area that can be connected to an fibre to the home [FTTH] network) about the benefits of the product. The company said FibreX would play a pivotal role in the federal government’s initiative to expand the nation’s fibre-optic network by an additional 90,000 kilometres, aiming to increase fibre capacity from 35,000 km to 125,000 km. FibreX promises ultra-fast and reliable internet connectivity, aiming to meet the diverse needs of Nigerians, from bustling urban centres to remote rural areas, it assured. “The launch of FibreX reiterates our dedication to supporting Nigeria’s digital transformation journey. “By enhancing our infrastructure and services, we aim to bridge the digital divide and foster inclusive growth,” the Chief Broadband Officer of MTN Nigeria, Egerton Idehen, stated.
