Effective July 1, 2026, the company announced the appointment of its Chief Technical Officer, Ikenna Uche, as Managing Director. The promotion positions him to oversee day-to-day operations, including network expansion, fiber deployment, and service delivery, as the firm deepens its push into large-scale internet infrastructure development.
The restructuring is designed to separate strategic leadership from operational management, a shift the company says is necessary as it scales.
According to Chief Executive Officer Kendall Ananyi, the organisational redesign reflects the company’s growth trajectory and the need for faster execution. He noted that the new structure will enable quicker decision-making in network rollout while maintaining operational discipline required for long-term infrastructure investment.
As part of the leadership changes, Tizeti also announced several senior appointments aimed at reinforcing key business functions. Modupe Sapaye has been named Chief Financial Officer to strengthen financial oversight amid rising capital demands linked to expansion.
In addition, Amadi Ama has been appointed Vice President of Marketing to drive customer acquisition and brand growth, while Emmanuel Agosu will oversee fiber deployment as Vice President of FreeFiber. Ijem Okolugbo has also been assigned to lead operations, with a focus on service reliability and network performance.
The company’s FreeFiber initiative remains central to its expansion strategy as it scales fibre-to-home and enterprise connectivity solutions across Nigeria’s growing digital economy.
Uche brings over two decades of experience in telecommunications, having previously worked with firms including Vodacom-Mobax and Reliance Telecom, in addition to his leadership roles within Tizeti’s technical operations and infrastructure deployment.
Industry observers note that the restructuring reflects a broader shift within Nigeria’s broadband sector, where internet service providers are increasingly transitioning from startup-style operations to more structured corporate models. This shift is being driven by intensifying competition, rising infrastructure costs, and growing demand for high-speed connectivity.
Tizeti stated that the new management framework is expected to enhance efficiency, improve service delivery, and support its long-term ambition of scaling broadband access across Africa’s largest economy.
