MTN Nigeria has launched the Y'ello Street Experience in Lagos to mark its 25 years of connectivity, inviting Nigerians to relive personal milestones tied to mobile technology. The experience is open until August 17, 2026, at MTN Plaza, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, according to a report by Legit.ng.
Celebrating 25 Years of Mobile Memories
The Y'ello Street Experience takes visitors through the evolution of mobile communication, from early basic calls and SMS to smartphones, mobile data, and digital services. It offers Nigerians an opportunity to reflect on how communication and everyday life have changed alongside mobile technology.
For many, the first mobile phone, first call, or first SMS marked personal milestones—from calling home for the first time to sending a special text, accessing the internet on a mobile phone, or using a phone to start a business. The experience aims to bring those memories together, allowing parents to show children what mobile life was like before smartphones and friends to reconnect with early mobile communication memories.
A Reflection of Nigerian Stories
MTN says the Y'ello Street Experience is not simply a celebration of its own 25-year journey but a reflection of the millions of Nigerian stories shaped by connectivity. Younger Nigerians can glimpse a time when staying connected looked very different from today's always-online world.
Visitors are invited to step into the past, relive memorable moments, and rediscover their first MTN memories. The event is part of MTN's broader anniversary activities, which also include recent promotions like the TikTok Open Time offer.

Legit.ng earlier reported that MTN introduced a new weekly reward giving eligible customers one hour of free TikTok access every Sunday, allowing users to scroll, create, and share content without using their regular data. The offer, known as TikTok Open Time, is the first service launched under MTN's new Open Time rewards platform.
However, the promotion currently applies only to customers in South Africa, meaning MTN subscribers in Nigeria are not included. MTN said customers can access the free TikTok connectivity through the MTN App, where the reward is available under the MyGifts section.
