Gateway to expand Etisalat footprint in Nigeria

Commenting on the business relationship, CEO Etisalat Nigeria, Steven Evans said, “Given the rapid rate of mobile adoption in Nigeria and what this represents in terms of opportunity, Nigeria is undoubtedly a key market for Etisalat. It was therefore key for us to find a partner that understands both the local market requirements as well as the complete technology landscape across Africa. As the most successful supplier of satellite cellular backhaul in Africa, Gateway Communications has expertise in both these areas. We are therefore confident that our desire to roll out our services across Nigeria in the shortest possible time will benefit from this promising business relationship”.

Managing director, Gateway Communications Nigeria, John Dindlebeck, said, “Gateway Communications has been working in Nigeria for over 10 years now and has always considered West Africa as an important market. In that time, Gateway has gained a deep understanding of the local market and has created a tremendously strong business across the region. It is great that Etisalat have recognised the high quality of our services here in Nigeria and we look forward to supporting them, building on their success and extending their footprint in this exciting market. As the largest provider of independent satellite services in Africa, we're confident that we have the expertise on the ground as well and the world class technologies to meet Etlisalat's exact requirements.”
