My people, make una gather here, because I get beta gist wey dey hot!
Dem say MTN Group, wey sabi as Africa’s biggest mobile network operator, don enter serious talks to buy the 75 percent stake wey dem never get for IHS Towers. If dis deal jam, e go value IHS reach about $2.76 billion, no be joke o!
According to wetin Reuters yarn, dem dey negotiate sharp-sharp to buy dis 75 percent stake wey remain from IHS Holdings. MTN don already get 25 percent since 2014, when dem sell plenty of their tower assets to IHS. Now, dem dey try tighten the grip on the infrastructure game, you sabi?
The big man from MTN, Ralph Mupita, talk say: “We gats make sure our networks dey well invested, available, and fit handle all the data wahala wey dey come.” E mean say, dem dey focus on how dem go improve everything wey concern their service so that our people go fit enjoy beta network.
But wait, no be like say dem don finalize anything o! Dem still dey baban for negotiation. If MTN fit get this IHS koboko, e go give dem better control of the infrastructure wey dey power their mobile networks, especially for Naija! If dem no fit finalize, dem say dem go find another way to benefit from wetin dem get already. Na beta business strategy be dis, my people!
IHS Towers dey operate well well for Nigeria, and dem dey rely on MTN as their biggest customer. If this deal super, e go change the game for both companies. MTN wan make sure say na dem dey own wetin dey support their network, so dem fit avoid wahala from outside contractors.
As we sabi, sharing profits no be small matter for business! So, MTN dey set their sights on greater ownership of tower infrastructure to help manage costs and also improve efficiency. Na strategy wey fit pay off well for dem!
In summary, my gist na say if MTN fit pull this deal through, e go mean plenty for dem and for all of us wey dey rely on their networks. Who no wan better service? As dem dey talk, “the future is bright,” abeg let we dey watch as e dey unfold!
