Celtel was a telecommunications company founded in 1998, primarily operating in several African countries. It played a significant role in expanding mobile phone access across the continent, providing services in countries like Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda. Celtel was known for its innovative approach to mobile communication, helping to connect millions of people. In 2005, Celtel was acquired by MTC Group, a leading telecommunications provider in the Middle East and Africa. The acquisition allowed Celtel to enhance its services and expand its reach. Eventually, Celtel rebranded under the Zain name, continuing its mission to improve connectivity in Africa.
