Airtel is restructuring its Nigerian, African operations

That’s putting it mildly. The Guardian is reporting impending sales and mergers.

There’s the broader context of Bharti’s struggle in Africa on the one hand, but anyone who’s been following the travails of its Nigerian subsidiary will know that it has a rather interesting history of changing hands. Econet > Vmobile > Zain > Celtel > Airtel > ???

Hehe. Actually, it was Celtel > Zain.
I remember because Celtel told us it was “Making life better”, but Zain came to say that there was already “A wonderful world”. :slight_smile:

Actually was Econet>Vodacom>Vmobile>Celtel>Zain> Airtel> ???

Company has changed hands though. As it stands already they had already outsourced their technical operations. Now a little birdie has informed me sales is also being outsourced. Well we wait till a new company comes and takes over

One of these US big boys should take a punt on this seemingly cursed company. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, anybody. I bet it changes hands again by 2021 if we’re not careful. I wouldn’t even want to be a customer of the company sef.

The Cursed Company…it definitely isnt the Tech…its the Process and People.
