Specifically, Orange, the largest telecommunications operator in France, says it is making plans to expand its operations to Nigeria, and South Africa.
He, however, declined to comment on possible interest in MTN Group Ltd., the largest telecommunications company in South Africa and Nigeria. Orange had earlier announced that it would merge its operations in the Middle East and Africa into a single entity, to make way for a potential listing and raise money for expansion to other countries.
Orange announcement comes six months after it officially inaugurated the Orange Middle East and Africa operational head office in Morocco. The coming of these operators spurred what is today called ‘telecom revolution’. Prior to 2001, Nigeria could only boast of about 425,000 phone lines, mostly analogue. The country was then ranked among Afghanistan and other war-ravaged and economically-strangled nations in terms of telecom development. Within the past 18 years, the number of active phone lines in the country has risen to over 180 million.
