(officially known as 9mobile), as the Indian
company is looking to boosts its assets in
Nigeria.

potential bidders. If you recall that the two
companies were said to be in strong running to
buy 65% of the telco but Vodafone lost the

generates about 30% of its revenues and buying
9mobile would see it overtake Globacom and give
the company chance to compete with leader MTN.

African asset, it is not still yet among the top two
operators in the country.
