Bismarck Rewane, Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company, discussed MTN's 25 years of telecommunications service delivery in Nigeria and its impact on the economy. He noted that in 2000, Nigeria had only 250,000 fixed lines owned by NITEL, a state-owned monopoly. MTN's entry in 2001 transformed the market from a state-owned monopoly to a private monopoly, and eventually to a duopoly and oligopoly, which has influenced business operations and economic growth. Rewane highlighted the significant role MTN's investment has played in shaping Nigeria's telecoms sector and broader economy.
