VDT communications Unveils 4G LTE Advanced services
VDT communications, a leading broadband communications service provider has officially unveiled its retail data network – 4G LTE Advanced service into the market.
Speaking at the unveiling in Lagos, Engr. Abiodun Omoniyi, Managing Director/CEO, VDT Communications Limited, said that their decision of launching 4G LTE service came with the successful acquisition of a broad channel 2.3GHz Spectrum from the Federal Government through Bitflux Communications Limited; a consortium which VDT is the principal partner.
According to him, the opportunity to actualize this dream came with the successful acquisition of a broad channel 2.3GHz Spectrum 5 years ago from the Federal Government through Bitflux Communications Limited; a consortium which VDT is the principal partner.
VDT LTE is leveraging on the Bitflux network it painstakingly and deliberately built from the scratch to provide premium quality 46 broadband experience in the country.
Despite the existence of other players in the market, Omoniyi said the decision to launch VDT 4G LTE service is owing to the gaps existing in the market due to poor quality networks, customer service and support service inherent in the market.
VDT 4G LTE Advanced, he said, has come to fill these yawning gaps with superior network quality, top-notch network performance and proactive customer and support services.
He also stated that their vision is to provide world class services to their customers, noting that customers are at the center of their business.
Omoniyi said that they will provide top-notch services that will usher in freedom to its customers in their houses and work place.
The MD/CEO of VDT Communications explained that their aim is to be at the forefront of championing the incoming revolution in the broadband services ecosystem.
He noted that the revolution will affect many sectors in the economy spanning from video streaming to financial services and into auto cars.
Engr. Omoniyi added that the revolution will usher in many good things in the economy but that we need a good platform which will provide adequate connectivity before we could derive the benefits of the revolution.
Giving an insight on how the device works, Femi Babatunde, Retail Marketing Manager, VDT Communications, said that what they are preaching is to bridge the gaps that exist in the market due to poor quality networks, poor customer service and inadequate support service.
He noted that with VDT’s 4G LTE Advanced Data Service all these yawning gaps will be filled with superior network quality, top-notch network performance and proactive customer and support services.
He added that the future will be heavily powered by access to data and that they are out to bridge the gaps that existed in the market.
VDT is renowned for the provision of premium quality services to enterprise customers.

It was a display of brilliance and composure as young Nigerians, aged 9 to 15, showcased their spelling prowess in the Enugu regional final of the MTN mPulse Spelling Bee on Saturday, November 1, 2025, held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu. After an electrifying one-hour showdown among 20 contestants, seven young spellers earned the right to compete in the grand finale in Lagos.
These excited champions, Nelson Ede Chidubem, Praise Ihionu, Emeka Nwaokocha Samuel, Treasure Oyibosu, Michelle Atanu Ufedo, Munachimso Onyemaechi, and Oyingba Douglas-Naingba, have been presented with their tags for the grand finale and will advance to Lagos, where they will join other regional winners to contend for the national title.
As part of the event, gift vouchers were presented to children and parents through questions and answers, adding a festive touch to the competition.
In his remarks, Honourable Emeka Nelson Nwagbo, Senior Special Adviser on Youth Mobilisation, Enugu West, said, “This initiative has not only encouraged academic excellence but also inspired our young leaders to pursue knowledge with confidence and pride. To the organisers, teachers, parents, and participants, thank you for making this event a success. Your dedication and support have truly made today memorable.
Once again, we say a big thank you to MTN Nigeria. We are happy that the brand is working in line with the vision of the Governor concerning smart schools. We look forward to more collaborations that will continue to empower our kids and youths,” he concluded.
Honourable Paul Ogbewe Okechukwu, Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Youth Mobilisation, Enugu East, also commended MTN for fostering literacy and healthy competition among teens, and for hosting the first physical regional finals in Enugu.
Addressing the participants, Temilolu Salako, Senior Manager, Segment Marketing, Youth, Women, & Teen, MTN Nigeria, said, “At MTN, we believe in the power of connectivity and technology to transform lives and build a brighter future for everyone. My team and I are here to inspire, support, and guide you on your journey to success. Together, we can achieve great things and make a lasting impact.”
