Lagos, Nigeria – May 29, 2025 – Spectranet, Nigeria’s pioneering 4G LTE provider, has once again cemented its reputation as a trailblazer in the telecoms industry. At the 2025 Africa’s Beacon of ICT (ABoICT) Merit & Leadership Awards, the company clinched two prestigious awards — Internet Service Provider of the Year and Leadership Award in Broadband Services, highlighting its commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer-centric service delivery.
The event was held in Lagos as part of the annual Nigeria Communications Week celebrations. The ceremony brought together key industry players to spotlight standout contributions shaping the future of ICT across the continent.
These latest awards reaffirm Spectranet’s position as Nigeria’s most reliable and forward-thinking ISP, renowned for pushing the boundaries of broadband access and consistently delivering fast, reliable, and affordable internet to homes and businesses alike.
Adding depth to the event, Mr. Amrish Singhal, Chief Operating Officer at Spectranet, delivered a compelling keynote address on “Responsible AI and Nigeria”, highlighting the transformative power and looming risks of artificial intelligence (AI).
Drawing parallels with India’s accelerated AI adoption in sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and education, Mr. Singhal urged Nigeria to act decisively. “AI holds immense potential to reshape industries and uplift lives,” he said. “But the risks, voice cloning, disinformation, AI-driven phishing, and identity theft are just as real. The question is: Is Nigeria prepared?”
While nations such as the EU, US, and China are advancing regulatory frameworks, he emphasized that Nigeria must accelerate its readiness to manage both the promise and perils of AI. “The future of Responsible AI in Nigeria depends on collective action. Government, tech companies, academia, civil society, everyone has a role to play. It starts with you and me”, he stated.
Also speaking at the event, Mr. Godwin Okhawere, Brand and Communication Manager at Spectranet, expressed heartfelt gratitude, “We are deeply honoured by these recognitions. They reflect our unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional value to our customers. The journey doesn’t stop here; we are just getting started.”

With a mission rooted in innovation and customer satisfaction, the company continues to roll out game-changing broadband solutions tailored to meet the dynamic needs of Nigerians, wherever they live, work, or play.
