Prof. Akunyili expressed optimism that Anabel Mobile is a clear example of what re-branding Nigeria is all about.

“It’s about redefining our place in the global community and celebrating what is great about us as a people,” she said.

In his remark the Chief executive, Anabel Group, Mr. Nicholas Okoye commended the government liberalizing the telecommunications market in the country, reaffirming the determination of his company to set up a manufacturing facility in Nigeria before 2013.

‘Good People, Great Nation’ beyond the shores of Nigeria with the Anabel range of world class mobile products.
