Investigative journalist David Hundeyin has alleged a coordinated network involving Nigeria’s telecom and ICT sectors.
Investigative journalist David Hundeyin has alleged that allies of President Bola Tinubu captured Nigeria’s estimated N400 billion airtime lending market through what he described as a three-year corruption network spanning the telecommunications and ICT sectors.
The claims, which focus on the structure and control of the airtime lending industry, raise questions about transparency and influence within a rapidly expanding segment of Nigeria’s digital economy.
Hundeyin’s allegations centre on the relationship between private sector interests and public influence, although the claims remain allegations requiring official scrutiny and verification.
At the time of reporting, no official response was included in the material provided.
The development is likely to attract attention from industry stakeholders and regulatory observers as discussions continue around accountability and governance within the sector.
