Telecom Sector Shifts as NITEL Faces Obsolescence

A telecom industry figure expressed concern that the power sector might follow NITEL’s path to decline, stating, 'Do you know that one day the power sector could go the way of NITEL?

This warning reflects a deep awareness that NITEL, once Nigeria’s dominant telecom monopoly, failed to modernize and adopt new technologies, leading to its eventual obsolescence.

ALTON’s Chairman, Adebayo, emphasizes precise communication, noting that while the power sector’s decline seems distant, NITEL’s inability to adapt to industry shifts caused its downfall.

The figure cautioned against capitalizing on the phrase that describes citizens ceding nearly all jobs to God, highlighting the need for careful language in discussing sector transitions.
