The Somali Telecom Regulator Issued the Country’s First Spectrum Licence to Hormuud Telecom

In a recent announcement, The Somali National Communications Authority (NCA) disclosed that they have issued the country’s first spectrum license to Hormuud Telecom. 

The formalisation of spectrum licences is another example of the fantastic work underway to bring stability, structure, and growth to the Somali economy. 

As Somali’s largest telecommunications provider, we’re crucially aware of the immense responsibility we play in the lives of many. We’re honoured to have been awarded this licence.

Ahmed Mohamud Yuusuf, CEO, Hormuud Telecom

The Government of Somalia is committed to transforming the nation into one of the most digitally inclusive societies in the world. To achieve our ambition, we require strong private-public partnerships as well as a robust regulatory environment. 

We are pleased to award Hormuud Telecom with the first spectrum license. Today marks a major milestone for the industry and our country at large. We believe that together, with private organisations such as Hormuud, we can push our nation’s digitalisation agenda forward.
