Bayobab, a fully owned MTN subsidiary, has completed a partnership with Africa50 to build a terrestrial optic fibre cable network connecting the Eastern shores of Africa to those on the continent’s Western region.
The Project East2West will impact ten African countries including Nigeria over a period of three years, from 2023 to 2025. It will also ensure that Bayobab reaches MTN Group’s target of having 135000km of proprietary fibre over the coming three years.
