MTN Nigeria and Opera Software have joined forces with Nigerian news, jobs and entertainment portal Naij.com to bring free mobile Internet to one million of the West African country via the mobile operator’s network.
The partnership is such that Opera will be sponsoring free web pass, which allows light internet users in Nigeria to have access to the internet with a 10 megabytes data bundle for free.
The free data bundle will be used to access the internet for a period of 48 hours, with restrictions to downloading and video streaming.
The essence is to bring in more Nigerians to the internet space through their mobile phones, especially for Nigerians who are not on the internet, but have mobile devices of any make and model.
“As a company committed to providing engaging online content for Nigerians, we’re thrilled to also provide them with a day of mobile Internet,” says Goke Olaegbe, country group head at Naij.com.
Opera says, with more than 20 million Opera Mini users in Nigeria, 140 million MTN subscribers and more than 12 million monthly Naij.com readers, the collaboration is an opportunity to bring mobile users online for the first time.
