Nigeria’s telecoms operator, 9mobile, has unveiled a new brand identity, T2, as part of efforts to revive its market presence and digital focus.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Obafemi Banigbe, made this known during the unveiling of the new brand name in Lagos on Friday, August 8, 2025.

Banigbe said the T2 identity marked a new chapter in 9mobile’s journey, centred on bold innovation, digital transformation, and a customer-first approach.

According to him, the transformation will make 9mobile a cloud-native, data-driven, API-ready operator, able to deliver smarter, personalised services faster.

“Becoming digital is not just a cliché. It means empowering customers with tools and platforms that improve their lives,” Banigbe added.
