The Group Chief Executive Officer of Hazon Technologies, Dr. Victor ’Gbenga Afolabi, has said the company’s telecom brand, Flexmobile, is now poised for commercial launch, with only final regulatory approval standing between it and full market entry.

Speaking at a press conference, Afolabi described the moment as the culmination of years of careful planning, strategic patience, and disciplined execution, noting that the company deliberately took its time to build a solid operational foundation before approaching the market.

He said Flexmobile, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), has already secured key commercial partnerships with its Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE), IMBIL, as well as a network agreement with Airtel Nigeria. Dr Afolabi said the developments have positioned the brand for a strong and competitive debut.

He explained that the company’s journey has been guided by a clear vision to deliver innovative and customer-focused telecom services, adding that the groundwork laid so far reflects a commitment to long-term sustainability rather than a rushed market entry.

“What lies ahead is more than a launch—it is the beginning of a new way to experience telecoms in Nigeria,” he noted. “After years of building the right partnerships and infrastructure, we are approaching a defining milestone. Flexmobile is designed to challenge conventions and introduce a smarter, more flexible telecom experience for Nigerians.”

Set to introduce a distinctive 081 number series, Flexmobile’s commercial rollout is targeted for June 1, 2026, subject to final consumer tariff approval by the Nigerian Communications Commission. Early signals suggest a product ecosystem engineered around flexibility, data-centricity, and user control; an approach aligned with the evolving expectations of Nigeria’s digitally connected population.

While full details of its offering will be unveiled at launch, the Group CEO said Flexmobile is expected to introduce a suite of value-added services designed to go beyond traditional connectivity, positioning the brand at the intersection of telecoms, lifestyle, and digital enablement.

According to him, the nearing launch signals not just the introduction of a new telecom brand, but the emergence of a platform designed to challenge existing norms in the industry through technology-driven solutions and improved service delivery.

Industry watchers have already begun to take note, with expectations building around how Flexmobile will differentiate itself in Nigeria’s highly competitive telecommunications landscape.

Afolabi, however, maintained that the company remains focused on execution, emphasizing that securing regulatory clearance is the final milestone before unveiling what he described as a transformative offering for subscribers.
