Telecommunications company ntel has unveiled a new corporate strategy, “The Next Frontier,” marking its expansion beyond traditional connectivity services into digital infrastructure and real estate development.

The strategy, launched in Lagos on July 13, is anchored on ntel’s BET Agenda—Beam, Eden, and Titan—and is designed to accelerate growth through technology innovation, infrastructure development, and strategic asset optimisation.

Speaking at the launch, Soji Maurice-Diya, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NatCom Development & Investment Limited (trading as ntel), described the initiative as more than a business transformation plan.

“It represents the company’s commitment to building an integrated ecosystem that connects people, empowers businesses, drives digital inclusion, and creates sustainable economic value for Nigeria,” Maurice-Diya said.

New Products and Services

As part of the Beam pillar, ntel introduced two new digital solutions:

• WakaGo – a global e-SIM service designed for international travellers.
• AirFibre – a high-speed fixed wireless broadband service aimed at delivering reliable internet connectivity for businesses.

The company said the new offerings are intended to strengthen its position in Nigeria’s evolving digital economy.

Focus on Infrastructure Expansion

Under the Titan pillar, ntel will expand its infrastructure business through investments in:

• Telecommunications towers
• Fibre-optic connectivity
• Duct infrastructure
• Colocation services
• Infrastructure-sharing solutions for telecom operators, enterprises, and technology providers

The company said the move aligns with its long-term objective of supporting Nigeria’s growing digital infrastructure needs.

Real Estate Development Takes Centre Stage

A major highlight of the launch was the introduction of Eden, ntel’s real estate development platform, which seeks to unlock value from the company’s extensive property portfolio.

The company unveiled three flagship projects:

• Eden Place – a commercial development in Lagos
• Nova Place – a commercial project in Port Harcourt
• Terenna Court – a residential apartment development in Abuja

According to ntel, the projects will be delivered through strategic partnerships, innovative designs, and long-term investment models.

Maurice-Diya disclosed that ntel has recorded significant progress over the past year, including:

• Strengthened stakeholder engagement
• Strategic business alignment
• Ongoing discussions with creditors
• Pursuit of partnerships with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
• Operational restructuring to improve efficiency and optimise infrastructure assets

The company also continues efforts to regain spectrum assets while pursuing strategic partnerships aimed at driving innovation and long-term growth.
