BREAKING: IHS Towers cuts ties with 9mobile over unpaid bills
- IHS Towers has asked 9mobile to vacate 2,576 tower sites starting in Q3 2025.
- The revised agreement commits 9mobile to clear parts of its long-standing debt through July 2027.
- IHS reported revenues of $455.1 million for Q3 2025, an 8.3% increase year-on-year.
The exit of 9mobile from a significant number of tower sites underscores the precarious state of smaller telecom operators in Nigeria. This situation raises concerns about the long-term viability of T2 and similar companies, as they grapple with infrastructure challenges and mounting debt. The industry may need to explore innovative solutions to stabilize operations and maintain service quality amidst rising costs and competitive pressures.
