“Being listed on NGX is just the beginning,” said Aisha Abdulaziz, CEO of Legend Internet Plc.
“With FTTR by Legend, we are building the infrastructure of the future today — not just to improve connectivity, but to transform how people live, work, and create.”
Strategic Alliance with Huawei Powers Cutting-Edge Deployment
The groundbreaking FTTR deployment is powered by strategic technology support from Huawei, a global telecommunications giant. The collaboration between Legend Internet and Huawei was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The partnership focuses on driving broadband infrastructure development, enhancing local capacity, and positioning Nigeria as a digital leader in Africa.
“Our partnership with Huawei reflects our dedication to combining global standards with local innovation,”Abdulaziz stated.
“Unlike traditional broadband that ends at the router, FTTR delivers pure fibre to every room, ensuring full-house coverage, zero lag, and consistent gigabit-speed performance.”
Revolutionizing Home and Office Internet with FTTR
FTTR is a game-changing technology that eliminates dead zones and patchy network issues. It provides seamless high-speed connectivity throughout the entire home or office, supporting multiple modern applications. They include:
- Online education
- Video conferencing and remote work
- High-performance gaming
- Immersive extended reality (XR) experiences
- Smart home devices like IoT-enabled security cameras
With the rise in data-intensive applications and the growing number of connected devices, FTTR is positioned to become the new gold standard in broadband connectivity.
Global Momentum: Nigeria Joins FTTR Trailblazers
According to the GSMA, FTTR is transforming global broadband infrastructure. As of Q1 2025, over 39 service providers across 27 countries have launched or are preparing to launch FTTR services. Nigeria is now part of this global movement, joining markets with advanced fibre penetration to deploy cutting-edge solutions that support smart living and digital productivity.
Transforming Nigeria’s Digital Future
The FTTR launch by Legend Internet Plc represents a bold step forward for Nigeria’s digital economy. By leveraging gigabit fibre technology, the company is enhancing smart infrastructure, boosting broadband access, and laying the foundation for future 5G, AI, and IoT applications.
As Abuja works to bridge Nigeria’s digital divide and empower its tech ecosystem, FTTR offers the reliable, high-speed backbone necessary for innovative services, remote learning, telemedicine, and digital entrepreneurship.
