Leading Telecoms services

event that attracted regulators, telecoms pundits, top politicians and seasoned
journalists.
Chaired by Nigeria’s former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar, the Nigeria’s Telecoms Award, is widely considered
as one of the most prestigious and foremost platforms for celebrating key
milestones in Nigeria’s telecommunications landscape.
Airtel also emerged the Best Customer Services Operator at the
event, which held Saturday night at the Incubator Centre, Victoria Island,
Lagos.
Award citations read in the
company’s honour said Airtel has led in innovation and celebrated several
milestones as a business in the period under review.
According to the citation, Airtel
has grown its network footprints to become the largest 3.75G Network in Nigeria
and has also redefined telephony experience across the country with the
introduction of the revolutionary High Definition Voice Service, implementation
of Google Cache Solution, as well as dominating the 4G landscape with the first
successful field trial-launch of Long Term Evolution in key cities.
It added that Airtel is known for
its revolutionary approach as evident in ground-breaking value offerings like
5X, a product that was quickly imitated by other operators, and its most recent
value proposition, 1SIM, another package that empowers consumers to enjoy same
benefits across all networks.
Commenting on why Airtel emerged the Best Customer Services
Operator, the Award’s organizers said right from when the Airtel brand was
launched in Nigeria in November, 2010, the company has maintained a singular
focus of exciting and delighting telecommunications consumers; as a result, it
has initiated several programmes to improve its service delivery as well as
boost customers’ satisfaction on the network.
“Airtel has also taken its time
to build a customer-centric organization. With the launch of I-CARE Philosophy
for its staff and key business partners, the company has adopted customer
service not only as a passion but a religion that must be practiced
wholeheartedly.
“With this move, every staff of
Airtel Nigeria becomes a touch point in dealing with customers’ queries and also
exceeding their expectations,” the citation said.
Accepting the awards, Chief
Executive Officer & Managing Director of Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya,
thanked employees of the organization for their passion and industriousness
just as he dedicated both awards to telecommunications consumers and customers
of Airtel Nigeria.
