Residents of Lagos can now enjoy free internet browsing courtesy top Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records owner, Don Jazzy, and a technology company called Tsaboin.
On Friday, Don Jazzy launched his free wifi in Lagos called Flobyt.
However, the service is to be enjoyed at the moment at selected areas in part of Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria.
Speaking on why he decided to give free the wifi in Lagos, Don Jazzy said, “I believe so much in this. This is one of the few other investments we are going to be sharing with you.
“I have been on social media for a long time. I know how expensive data is. I give free airtime, now it’s time to give free WiFi.”
Also commenting, MD/CEO of Tsaboin, Mr Dele Odufuye, the WiFi service can be accessed in locations like eateries, parks, taxis, buses, restaurants, and cafés.
“It’s quite easy. You simply walk into any of our partner outlets and patronize them. While you are at that, you can log into Flobyt’s free WiFi service available.
“Join the ‘Flobyt FREE Wifi’ if your browser pops up for authentication, just visit www.mavinrecords.com or click on ‘Free Access’ button shown to you.
“We are using state-of-the-art WiFi technology equipment that balances speed, quality of service, security and data consumption.
“These equipment are light weight and easier to manage. These are the technological and business edges,” he said.
Flobyt is currently installed in Bar Enclave, Ilupeju; FoodHouse, Ikosi; Lounge 9a, Anthony; Massimo Bar, Ikeja; Grace’s Cakes, Ogba; Jazzment Salon Lekki; Kayz Place Barbershop, Lekki; Amala Express, Lekki; White House, Sabo, Yaba and Road Star Burger, Lekki.
