Legend Internet PLC has unveiled Nigeria’s first Fibre-to-the-Room (FTTR) broadband service, promising ultra-high-speed internet connectivity directly to every room in homes and businesses. The launch, announced on May 9, 2025, marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s digital infrastructure development.
Unlike traditional broadband that delivers fibre only up to the router, FTTR by Legend extends pure fibre optic connections into every room, ensuring zero lag and full-house coverage. This innovation targets high-end residences initially, with plans to expand access to a broader market over time.
“Our collaboration with Huawei reflects our commitment to global standards and local innovation,” said Aisha Abdulaziz, CEO of Legend Internet PLC. “With FTTR by Legend, we are building the infrastructure of the future, today – not just to improve connectivity, but to transform how people live, work, and create.”
The service is supported by Huawei Technologies, a global leader in telecommunications, which brings decades of research and development in fibre optic and smart home technology to the partnership. This collaboration aims to accelerate broadband infrastructure growth and position Nigeria as a digital leader in Africa.
Legend Internet, which recently became the first internet service provider listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), plans to scale its fibre network beyond Abuja to Lagos and other states. The company’s broader mission includes closing Nigeria’s digital divide by offering reliable, high-speed internet and expanding fintech solutions like digital payments and wallets.
“FTTR by Legend delivers gigabit-speed internet seamlessly throughout buildings, meeting the demands of smart homes, remote work, and tech-forward enterprises,” Abdulaziz added.
Legend Internet PLC is a digital infrastructure company focused on broadband and fintech markets in Nigeria. It provides ultra-high-speed fibre-optic internet and last-mile digital payment solutions designed to empower residential and business users.
