The capital injection targets network improvements and service extensions for underserved communities. MTN allocated approximately $380 million for the current year to expand coverage. The company plans to deploy 800 new cell sites in total. This project marks the firm's largest annual infrastructure build in a decade. The rollout prioritizes rural and peri-urban areas.
