-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etisalat is entering the Nigerian market through a licence obtained in 2007 by the Mubadala Trading & Development Company of UAE. It operates under the corporate name of Emerging Markets Telecommunications Service.
“EMTS is a Nigerian company duly incorporated under the laws of Nigeria in partnership with Mubadala and Etisalat of UAE. Mubadala acquired the Unified Access Licence in 2007. It includes a mobile licence and spectrum in the GSM 1800 and 900 MHz bands for $400 million,” said Belo-Osagie.
Etisalat has already acquired 40 per cent stake in EMTS to operate its brand as Nigeria’s 5th mobile provider. Stating the company’s vision, Belo-Osagie said: “Indeed, backed by Etisalat’s legendary track record of quality and performance, we are committed to building Etisalat Nigeria into a world class service provider, known for its standards of quality, operational performance and efficiency and admired for its record of consistently creating value for customers.”
Mr. Saoud al-Shamsi, Chief Executive Officer of Etisalat Nigeria amplified the chairman’s statement, noting that the company would only roll out when it was sure the services would meet its own set standards. This was in apparent reference to recent cry by Nigerians on poor quality of service (QoS) being offered by all four operators in the country. The Nigerian Communications Commission, the industry’s regulator recently fined two of the providers for their poor QoS.
“We will only launch commercial service here (Nigeria) when we are sure that the QoS will not drop below our expectation. We will launch, but we want to get it right from the first day,” said al-Shamsi.
Al-Shamsi stated that Etisalat has “pioneered technology in different markets, leading our customers and partners into the future. Recent examples include a 3.75G Network which Etisalat rolled out in Egypt (the most advanced in that market). We are majority shareholders in Thuruya, a leading provider of satellite phones. In the UAE, Etisalat offers fixed line services over its Next Generation Network and provides mobile users with a range of services and applications including GPRS, 3G, Blackberry and MobileCam.”
To underline its Middle East influence, the company is ranked 140th by the London based Financial Times Top 500 global Corporations in terms of market capitalisation.
