In a move to revamp its operations and boost market share, 9mobile has announced the appointment of Obafemi Banigbe as its new Chief Executive Officer.
This development is part of the company’s strategic plan to transform its business and reclaim its position in the Nigerian telecom market.
Banigbe, a seasoned telecom expert with extensive experience in the African business landscape, succeeds Juergen Peschel, who will continue to support the company as a consultant.

The Board of 9mobile expressed optimism about Banigbe’s leadership, stating, “We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the positive impact that Obafemi will have on shaping the future of 9mobile.” Banigbe, who has held significant roles at Ericsson, Millicom Ghana, and Millicom International Cellular Tanzania, expressed his enthusiasm about joining 9mobile and his commitment to transforming the Nigerian telecom sector.
With his wealth of experience and expertise, Banigbe is poised to lead 9mobile in a new direction, focusing on superior customer experience and sustained network quality. His appointment is a significant development in the Nigerian telecom industry, and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting the impact of his leadership on the company’s fortunes.
