The eternal struggle for market share and customer loyalty in the Nigerian telecommunications industry!

Indeed, the major players in the Nigerian telecoms market, including MTN, Airtel, Glo, and others, have been engaging in a fierce data war in recent times. This has led to a series of price cuts, promotions, and innovative offerings aimed at attracting and retaining customers.

Here are some recent developments in the data war:

Overall, the data war in Nigeria's telecoms industry is expected to continue, with operators looking for ways to innovate and differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market.
