One of the leading telecommunications firms on the continent, Airtel Africa Plc, has registered its 150 millionth customer.

The chief executive of the telco, Mr Segun Ogunsanya, in a statement on Thursday, thanked the company’s subscribers and stakeholders for their continued commitment and support in helping the organisation reach this milestone.

In the statement made available to Business Post, he was quoted as saying the team will not rest on its oars, noting that “as everyone knows, this is just the beginning of a journey that will see many more milestones in the coming years.”

The latest feat reaffirmed that Airtel Africa has been providing its customers access to reliable and high-quality digital and mobile money services, often for the first time.

Led by the purpose of transforming lives, connecting 150 million customers is a significant milestone that underscores the company’s commitment to enriching the lives of its customers.

“Looking forward, Airtel Africa is focused on further expansion, increased innovation, and continued investments to ensure a digitally empowered future for all,” a part of the statement assured.

Airtel Africa said the growth reflects its commitment to reaching more people, with more services, in more places than ever before.
