For the founder of Mona Protect, Usman Abdullahi, the story of Nigeria’s mobile evolution is not just about technology, but survival. Having worked for more than two decades across hardware, software, and industry partnerships, he says one truth has remained constant.

Speaking on the mobile evolution in the country, Abdullahi said: “In Nigeria, a smartphone is not a luxury, it is a lifeline. I have seen people borrow money just to repair their only phone. Students stranded because their learning device broke down, or small business owners losing customers because they couldn’t answer calls. The damage goes beyond finances, it’s the stress of losing your lifeline.”

That conviction, he explained, gave birth to Mona Protect— a smartphone protection plan designed to shield Nigerians from the heavy financial and emotional burden of device damage. The service offers an annual coverage plan for accidents and unexpected breakdowns, ensuring that users can repair or replace their devices without the usual struggles.

Abdullahi described Mona Protect as more than just another product in the market. “After more than twenty years in this space, I am convinced that Mona Protect is not just another product. It’s a service positioned to meet Nigerians exactly where the need is greatest — at the point where losing a phone could mean losing a livelihood.”

With smartphone adoption continuing to grow across the country, Mona Protect hopes to provide a safety net for millions of Nigerians who depend on their devices daily for business, banking, education, and staying connected.

According to Abdullahi, the initiative leverages his long-standing industry experience and partnerships to deliver a solution that fits the unique realities of Nigeria’s mobile market.
