MTN Nigeria and Intelligra have partnered to grow smartphone penetration to 60 per cent by 2025 through a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.

Nigeria has the highest number of internet users in Africa, while data shows that the country still has one of the highest average costs of smartphones. Citizens spend over 30 per cent of their monthly income to purchase one, and this endangers Nigeria’s 2025 broadband penetration target.

Speaking on the partnership with Intelligra, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Adia Sowho, said “With this partnership, customers will have the opportunity to subscribe to any of the MTN bundle plans for as low as N7,000/month and walk away with a smartphone of your choice.

They can pay over 6 – 12 months with as little as N0 initial deposit; plans are bundled with up to 100GB of data and 250 voice minutes monthly as well as redeem a one-time free screen replacement when broken and receive a one-time free phone replacement when stolen, provided the customer has an active and up-to-date subscription.”

“The partnership with Intelligra will drive financial inclusion, the digital goals of financing devices and making them accessible to the average man. It would also grant customers access to the internet, entertainment, and education and allow users to communicate easily,” she added.
