MTN Nigeria has announced plans to connect more than eight million homes to its FibreX broadband network by 2028, a major leap from its current base of about 50,000 users. The move is part of the telecom giants strategy to expand digital access, boost broadband penetration, and strengthen Nigerias internet backbone.
Egerton Idehen, MTN Nigerias Chief Broadband Officer, unveiled the plan during a media parley on Thursday, noting that the project aligns with the companys broader vision of delivering high-speed, low-latency fibre connectivity to homes, small businesses, and public institutions nationwide.
Our goal is clear between 2026 and 2028, we want FibreX to reach over 8 million homes across Nigeria, Idehen said. When we talk about homes, we mean clusters families, small businesses, and communities. This is about empowering people to connect and thrive in the digital economy.
