Telecommunications operator T2, formerly 9mobile, has entered a multi-million-dollar partnership with India’s Knot Solutions to overhaul its Business and Operations Support Systems (BSS/OSS). The move aims to reposition the company for growth in Nigeria’s competitive telecoms sector.
T2’s CEO, Obafemi Banigbe, unveiled the deal during a signing ceremony at the GITEX Nigeria Tech Expo and Future Economy Conference in Lagos.
He said the partnership is a key component of the company’s four-phase transformation strategy: stabilisation, modernisation, transformation, and growth.
“This structured approach underscores our commitment to restoring competitiveness, driving customer-focused innovation, and enabling Nigeria’s digital future,” said Banigbe.
He noted that T2’s vision goes beyond upgrading its systems, describing the agreement as a customer-first revolution that would redefine digital experiences for millions of Nigerians. T2, he added, is evolving into a broader platform offering voice, data, financial services, content, cloud, and lifestyle solutions.
Knot Solutions CEO Sumanth Konuru said Africa’s telecoms industry is rapidly evolving, and BSS/OSS modernisation is critical.
He explained that through its RaptrDXP cloud-native platform, T2 can deliver more personalised, seamless services – from real-time billing to customised bundles.
The announcement comes as Nigeria’s telecoms industry continues to attract fresh investments to meet soaring demand for data and digital services.
The company is pursuing an aggressive revival plan anchored on global technology partnerships. At the end of August 2025, T2 signed another multi-million-dollar agreement with Huawei to modernise its core network.
