ntel, Nigeria’s first 4G/LTE Advanced
network received an unsolicited PR boost early in the evening of Saturday July
1, 2017.
The boost came from an Instagram post made
by gospel artiste, Nathaniel Bassey, and
visionary behind the viral #halleluyahchallenge which ran from June 1 to June
30 2017 during which Mr. Bassey led a praise worship session via Instagram.
The challenge was so successful, it notched
up over 550,00 followers for the artiste, landed him a spot on CNN and saw his
account verified by Instagram.
In the evening tweet, an excited Nathaniel
Bassey told his followers – “Remember I said I will announce my winner. So,
after deploying almost 7 ISPs, basically due to hitches in network, ntel was
able to save the day. And what amazes me is this, out of all, it was the
cheapest. I had underground fibre connection etc over 3 times the cost of this
but just didn’t work. I just thought to celebrate ntel for coming to our
rescue. And also to spur others to excellence.”
In an acknowledgment ntel thanked Nathaniel
Bassey for his endorsement. “Thanks nathanielblow for the shout out. At ntel,
we saw a good cause and thought to support it with Nigeria’s superfast internet
service. Thanks to Victoria Bassey for letting us join your team in raising a
song of praise all those nights. People have been blessed and so have we.”
