Made-in-Nigeria phones to be introduced — PAPDAN

By on October 11, 2013

The Phone and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria on Wednesday said that plans were underway to introduce two new made-in-Nigeria mobile phone brands before December.

The President, PAPDAN,  Mr. Godfrey Nwosu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the proposed phones, iQ and MaxTel, resulted from a partnership involving 20 Nigerian investors.

“The two new phone brands would be called iQ and MaxTel,” he said.

Nwosu said PAPDAN had identified a growing appetite for cutting-edge technologies among telecoms consumers.

“The two Nigerian brands would cater to three market segments: feature, medium and smart phone segments,” he said.

Nwosu said the phones would offer more choices to the local consumers.

The PAPDAN official also said that membership of the association currently stood at 3,000.

“Our members occupy a crucial place in the retail end of the technology market.

“As they sell in excess of 2 million units of phones and allied devices in Nigeria and several economies across West Africa monthly,” Nwosu said.
