Globacom, the national telecommunications operator, has become the preferred network of 2 million new subscribers in Nigeria in September, the largest in the sector, according to the latest statistics released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

The fourth mobile operator, 9mobile, lost 268,159 subscribers in September, from 15,602,255 in August to 15,334,096 in September.



According to the regulator of the sector, the number of active mobile users in the country rose from 176.6 million in August to 178.9 million in September.

For example, the country's teledensity, which measures the number of active telephone connections per 100 inhabitants living in the same region, also increased to 93.8%.
