Airtel Nigeria has announced the temporary suspension of its airtime and data credit services, which previously allowed eligible prepaid customers to borrow airtime or data and repay on their next recharge.
In a statement on Friday, the Director of Corporate Communications & CSR at Airtel Nigeria, Femi Adeniran, said the decision is part of ongoing adjustments aimed at aligning the company’s operations with evolving regulatory and operational requirements in Nigeria’s telecommunications sector.
Despite the suspension, Airtel assured customers that they will continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to standard airtime and data purchases through existing channels.
The company also noted that the pause in the credit service is not expected to affect overall service quality or network performance across the country.
Airtel described the move as temporary and said further updates will be communicated when the service is reviewed or restored.
