Airtel Nigeria has announced another package aimed at reducing costs and time spent on recharging GSM phones in an effort to help keep pace with competition over billings. The move has been met with widespread positive reactions here in Lagos as the costs of mobile phone usage continues to drop.
Only two months ago, Airtel was launched in the country after its 2Good offer, which saw the network give customers the ability to make calls at 20k per second, across all networks and to the United States.
Unveiling the new package in Lagos on Monday, the Chief Executive Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Rajan Swaroop told reporters that “as part of 2Good, we are taking another bold step in our journey of redefining freedom in the telecommunications experience in Nigeria.
“We also want to identify with the local and unique experience of Wazobia as original Nigerian expression that captures the heart and spirit of the people. We therefore want to identify with such local and relevant and unique expression of the Nigerian spirit,” he added.
The product launch saw the unveiling of the N50 electronic recharge card (Wazobia Recharge), a new flexible airtime recharge service from Airtel with any denomination from as low as N50 through its electronic platform and also introducing the N50 recharge paper voucher.
