Global AI-powered financial infrastructure group Optasia today confirmed that, with effect from 24 June 2026, all operators have resumed airtime credit services (“ACS”) in Nigeria.
The resumption follows a period during which services were temporarily suspended in Nigeria. Throughout this time, Optasia, which operates in the country as Nairtime Nigeria, continued to work actively to support the restoration of ACS services across the market.
The underlying regulations remain suspended pending the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings. Optasia will continue to engage transparently with all relevant parties as those proceedings progress.
Access to Connectivity for Millions of Consumers
ACS provides an important means of access to connectivity for millions of consumers in Nigeria. The resumption of these services across all operators in the country enables consumers to once again access the short-term credit facilities that keep them connected through their mobile network providers.
Optasia remains committed to operating responsibly in Nigeria and to supporting continued access to digital services for consumers in the market.
Statement from Salvador Anglada, Group Chief Executive Officer, Optasia:
“We welcome the resumption of ACS services in Nigeria. This is an essential service that enables consumers to remain connected and go about their daily lives. We remain committed to working constructively with our partners and with regulators as the legal proceedings continue, and we will keep stakeholders informed as the matter develops.”
