Japan’s Smartphone Freetel Enters Nigerian Market
Japan’s largest selling smartphone mobile brand, Freetel, has announced its partnership with TD Mobile, a mobile devices distributor in the sub-Saharan Africa which has established its presence in the Nigerian mobile market.
Freetel said that the partnership was ahead of its planned introduction of four models of its Android smartphones into the Nigerian market.
The company said that its smartphones, which are certified by Google GMS, were designed in Tokyo and Japanese engineers with over 40 years industry experience supervised the manufacturing.
“The GMS certification is the confirmation that a specific device meets Google’s performance requirements and properly runs the Google apps,” the Vice-President, International Sales, Freetel, Eugene Yoshioka, said.
He said, “Nigeria is the market for Freetel and we are looking forward to reach out to Nigerian consumers with our latest smartphones. We plan to invest in the country with a full-fledged subsidiary to support sales, marketing and after-sales support. We are glad that we are partnering the most powerful and trusted partner in the region-TD Africa.”
Industry players said that as a subsidiary of the Information and Communications Technology distribution powerhouse, Technology Distribution Limited (TD Africa) would add the Freetel brand to its growing list of international brands.
“Considering its wide reach, distribution network, massive retailer base and unmatched presence in major Nigerian cities and other West Africa capitals, the partnership will see the company deploy its latest capacity in taking the line-up of products from the Freetel stable to every action in the metropolis as well as every nook and cranny in the hinterlands,” Yoshioka added.
The Managing Director, TD Mobile, Mrs. Gozy Ijogun, said, “As a key driver of the technology revolution in Africa, TD Mobile has always strived to bring the latest and best of technology products to Nigeria and the West Africa region by extension.
“In line with this, Freetel and TD Mobile have entered into an exclusive partnership to bring Japanese smartphones to Nigeria. We believe we can capture a major market share with the help of our extensive distribution reach and strategic partnership with operators, dealers and retailers.”

Glo, Federal Civil Service Collaborate On Free Access CUG Lines
Total telecommunications solution provider, Globacom, has partnered with the Federal Civil Service to supply Free Access telephone lines to the entire Federal workforce to enhance productivity via seamless communication among ministries and the larger Nigerian populace. Programmed under a Closed User Group (CUG) platform, the lines will avail all public servants seamless yet affordable communication opportunities and will also be documented in a formal directory with the names and ministries of domicile of all public servants at the Federal level.
In an address at the unveiling of the scheme in Abuja on Monday, Globacom posited that the relationship between telecommunications and the civil service in any growing nation cannot be over-emphasized, adding that “telecommunications enable nations to improve the productivity and efficiency of their workforce because employees can deploy voice and data services to make calls, send or receive email, browse websites, conduct research, access databases or participate in conference calls,” the company added.
The network also disclosed that with the CUG arrangement, workers will also enjoy the opportunity to save precious executive time and reduce organizations’ communications equipment costs. “In addition to this, productivity, efficiency and passion for excellence are kindled owing to the fact that tedium of work is lessened, while greater results are obtained in the process”, the company said.
While adding that collaboration between employees is now one of the most important organizational activities across the globe, Globacom said on this count, “telecommunications also makes it easier for employees in different departments or remote locations to work together. Rather than spend effort booking a conference room or travelling to meetings, employees can join a video conference or Web conference from their desks,”
Head of service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita in her remarks at the event eulogized Globacom for the offer and described the brand as a truly Nigerian company whose activities reflect its deep commitment to the welfare of the populace professionally and in their personal endeavours. Mrs. Oyo-Ita promised that the civil service of the Federation will employ the CUG lines to improve on its productivity and inter-ministerial relations for the enhancement of the nation’s policy formulations and executions for the good of the entire citizenry.
