BackgroundFollowing nearly 16 years of military
rule, a new constitution was adopted in Nigeria 1999, and a peaceful
transition to civilian government was completed. The president faces
the daunting task of rebuilding a petroleum-based economy, whose
revenues have been squandered through corruption and mismanagement,
and institutionalizing democracy. In addition, the Obasanjo
administration must defuse longstanding ethnic and religious
tensions, in its efforts to build a sound foundation for economic
growth and political stability. Despite some irregularities the
April 2003 elections marked the first civilian transfer of power in
Nigeria's history.
It is beyond doubt, that Nigeria is one of the extremely few
African countries with high potential of prosperous economic
development, where proper telecommunication infrastructure will be
one of the basic conditions for success. The oil-rich Nigerian
economy is undergoing substantial reform under the new civilian
administration, paving the way for supporting businesses and a
general rise in the welfare of the Nigerian population, estimated at
140 million.
The successful negotiations with MTN Nigeria Communications Limited
in July 2002 represents the starting point for incorporating Reime
West Africa Ltd. Reime has decided to move slowly in Nigeria, as we
acknowledge the importance of adapting to the local business terms
and culture of the country – a time-consuming process. During 2005,
Reime West Africa was able to strengthen its position with MTNN as
their progressive roll out plans demanded increased pressure on the
qualified contractors. Reime West Africa takes pride in
participating in the successful operation and expansion of MTN
Nigeria. As of December 2005, Reime West Africa have delivered over
200 BTS sites including five MSC 100m+ towers to MTNN.
2005 gave new opportunities for Reime West Africa in the GSM
infrastructure development, as Reime West Africa was awarded a Civil
Works Rollout Management contract by Huawei Technologies to deliver
V-Mobile Microwave Backbone Turnkey Project. This contract is
considered a major milestone in Reime West Africa as this opens a
whole new opportunity for the company to tap into other operators in
the growing GSM market in Nigeria.
Nigeria is considered the third fastest growing GSM network in the
world behind China and Brazil as reported by GSMA. Reime West Africa
is positioning itself to play a major role in this market especially
with Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) planned License
Unification of the GSM and PTOs in 2006.
Reime NIS considers Reime West Africa as one of the most important
local establishments made so far as the Nigerian telecom market is
dramatically expanding. Not only is each operator expanding, but
also the number of licensed operators. Contacts
