Tinubu Hails Lebara Nigeria’s Launch, Says Entry Strong Vote of Confidence in Digital Economy

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has welcomed the official launch of Lebara Nigeria, describing the development as a strong vote of confidence in Nigeria’s digital economy and its growing status as a leading technology and investment destination in Africa.

In a statement issued yesterday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President said Nigeria’s telecommunications sector remained one of the country’s most vibrant economic drivers, recording 5.78 per cent year-on-year growth in the third quarter of 2025 and contributing over 14 per cent to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

President Tinubu congratulated the leadership and partners of Lebara Nigeria, particularly its Chief Executive, Mrs. Teniola Stuffman, for their commitment to expanding telecommunications access, creating employment opportunities, and strengthening Nigeria’s digital infrastructure.
