Nigerienne des Telecommunications is the legacy name of SONITEL, the Société Nigérienne des Télécommunications, formed in 1997 as Niger’s national fixed-line carrier. Its mobile subsidiary was SahelCom. After the failed privatisation was cancelled in 2009, the state merged SONITEL and SahelCom in September 2016 to create Niger Telecoms, which was reported in 2023 to be wholly owned by the Nigerien state. The government has since proposed merging Niger Telecoms with Zamani Telecom.
