Nigeria needs to roughly double its tower count to expand coverage and densify networks to meet data demand in urban areas. Any tower strategy that can reduce the capex required for this multi-billion dollar programme will do a lot to accelerate network build out and improve quality of service. Secured Towers are aiming to manage and upgrade the over 3,000 of such towers already in place in Nigeria which are privately owned without a mobile operator tenant. TowerXchange speaks with Collins Onumajuru, CEO at Secured Towers about how he is progressing in filling Nigeria’s tower deficit.
