It Started With a Call.

A Nigerian telecommunications journey built through innovation, resilience, rebuilding and transformation.

Our story

Swift Telephone Network’s telecommunications journey began in Nigeria in 1998 with a modest calling operation supporting the NUGA Games. From those early beginnings, the business evolved into new communications services, including voicemail within the University of Lagos community and, later, digital landline telecommunications.

The company’s corporate history subsequently included operations under YOBOC & Co. Ltd., while its transition toward independent telecommunications licensing led to a new chapter for Swift Telephone Network.

In 2005, STN obtained its own operational telecommunications licences from the Nigerian Communications Commission.
