MTN Nigeria, an online portal, Naij.com, and
Opera Software are offering phone
subscribers one million days of free mobile
internet through Opera’s sponsored web
pass which allows operators to package
their data in a user-friendly way.
At the click of a button, users can get online
and explore what the mobile internet has to
offer.
MTN users will be able to activate their free
day of internet by going to
webpass.opera.com using Opera Mini on
the MTN network to access 40,000 passes
daily.
The country group head at Naij.com, Goke
Olaegbe, said, “As a company committed to
providing engaging online content for
Nigerians, we are thrilled to also provide
them with a day of mobile internet.”
With over 20 million Opera Mini users in
Nigeria, 60 million MTN subscribers and
more than 12 million monthly Naij.com
readers, the collaboration is a unique
opportunity to bring mobile users online for
the first time.
The vice president, Africa for Opera
Software, Richard Monday, said that whilst
Nigeria’s mobile penetration is rapidly
expanding, mobile data usage is still low at
around 38 per cent.
“Connecting more people, wherever they are
and helping them to do more with their data
is at the forefront of what we do at Opera.
Partnerships like this are key to achieving
our goals,” he said.
The acting chief enterprise solutions officer
at MTN Business, Tsola Barrow, said, “This
initiative underpins our mission to make the
lives of customers on Africa’s largest
network a whole lot brighter.”
We also truly believe in the power of
bringing people online via the devices they
use every day. Opera’s sponsored web pass
helps take the fear out of using mobile
internet for the first time.”
