VDL Technologies

As of December 2025, Nigeria had 179.64 million active mobile connections, according to NCC data, but only about half of those connections came with internet access.

That gap is easy to miss if you're only looking at total subscriber numbers. A phone connection and a data connection aren't the same thing, and the difference between them is tens of millions of people.

It's part of why two channels that look similar on the surface: apps and USSD actually reach very different audiences. An app needs data to load, a login to work, storage space on the device. USSD works over the same basic signal that carries a phone call: no internet required, no download, no smartphone needed.

If your current strategy leans entirely on apps and data-based channels, that's tens of millions of active connections you're not reaching. Worth asking whether it's time USSD had a place in the plan.

We're proud to share that VDL Technologies has achieved ISO 27001 accreditation.

For our partners, this isn't just a certificate; it's a formal, independently verified commitment to how we protect data across every campaign, integration, and platform we run.
This reinforces something we've built our reputation on from day one: our partners shouldn't have to choose between innovation and security.

To everyone who's trusted us with their promotions and campaigns, thank you.

Here's what most brands get wrong: it's rarely the reward.

Most loyalty programs run on a fixed script: same promotion, same structure, and same format from launch to close. It works the first cycle or two. Then participation quietly drops, not because customers stopped wanting the reward, but because the promotion became predictable.

That's where we come in. Instead of running the same loyalty promotion on repeat, we help brands build innovative consumer promotions that keep customers excited: raffles, instant-win campaigns, interactive surveys, and reward structures designed around real participation data, not a format decided once and reused indefinitely.

In practice, that means fresh mechanics that respond to how customers are actually engaging, reduced drop-off because the experience keeps evolving instead of repeating itself, and campaigns that sit on top of your existing loyalty program: no rebuild required.

If your loyalty numbers are declining cycle over cycle, the promotion itself is usually the first place to look.

Choosing a VAS partner isn't just a vendor decision; it's a bet on whether your next campaign launches on time, clears compliance, and actually delivers numbers you can report on.

Here's what that bet looks like with VDL:
-A dedicated team that stays with your campaign from scoping to launch, not a rotating cast of account managers.
-Deployment that moves in the same cycle you planned for, not one pushed back by weeks of back-and-forth.
-And reporting that gives you real numbers mid-campaign, not a guess dressed up as an update after it's already over.

We've built this on over a decade of working across telecom, FMCG, fintech, and public sector, including USSD infrastructure deployed at a national scale during Nigeria's last general elections.

If your current partner can't promise you all three of these: a dedicated team, speed, and data, it might be time for a conversation with us.

Recognition is earned long before it's published.

It happens in the countless decisions to do the right thing when no one is watching.

It happens in choosing long-term impact over short-term wins.

It happens in building technology that doesn't just innovate but creates value.

That's why we're proud to celebrate our CEO, Oluwarotimi Fasuyi , on his feature in The Guardian for his leadership and commitment to creating value through technology and integrity.

This recognition reflects more than an individual achievement. It speaks to the vision behind VDL Technologies a vision to build digital solutions that empower businesses, transform customer experiences, and unlock opportunities across industries.

Every product we create, every partnership we nurture, and every milestone we achieve is driven by a belief that technology should solve real problems and create meaningful impact.

As we continue building for the future, this feature reminds us that true leadership isn't measured only by what you build, but by the values that shape how you build it.

Congratulations to our CEO on this well-deserved recognition. Here's to pushing boundaries, creating value, and leading with integrity every step of the way.

New month is a fresh opportunity to innovate, adapt, and grow.

As we step into August, we're excited about the possibilities ahead and remain committed to building technology solutions that empower businesses and drive meaningful impact.

Here's to a productive and successful month ahead.

Imagine you're planning a customer reward campaign.

You want to reward loyal customers with airtime.

You need to send bulk SMS to thousands of customers.

You want to launch a USSD campaign so people can participate easily.

And when the campaign ends, you need reports to understand what worked, customer behavior, and the insights that will help you make even better decisions next time.

Now imagine having to use four different platforms to get all of that done.

Different logins. Different vendors. Different dashboards.

It slows your team down and makes simple campaigns unnecessarily complicated.

What if you could do it all from one platform?

That's what Movil is built for.

From Airtime Vending and Bulk SMS to USSD services and real-time dashboard reporting, Movil gives businesses the tools they need to engage customers, run successful campaigns, and make data-driven decisions all in one place.

Because the best campaigns aren't just creative.

They're powered by the right technology.

If your business is looking for a smarter way to connect with customers, it might be time to stop juggling multiple tools and start using one platform built for growth. Reach out to us at [email protected] to get started now.

Have you ever experienced this?

You're trying to buy data from your bank, but the app just won't open or maybe it's taking forever to load.

You need that data immediately, so you decide to use the bank's USSD code instead...

Frustrating, right?

Now imagine that happening to your customers.

Every time they want to pay, make a request, check their account, or access one of your services, they have to struggle just to get through.

The truth is, customers don't judge your brand only by the quality of your product. They judge you by how easy it is to do business with you.

That's the real secret to having happy customers.

It's not just about offering great services.

It's about making those services easy to access anytime, anywhere, on any phone and that's exactly why we're still talking about USSD.

A reliable USSD solution gives your customers a fast, simple, and convenient way to reach your services, even without internet access or downloading an app..

Because when customers can access your services in seconds, they're more likely to trust your brand, return again, and recommend you to others.

So if you want happier customers, don't just focus on building a great product.

Focus on building a great experience and sometimes, that experience starts with something as simple as a USSD code.

We help businesses create seamless USSD experiences that keep customers satisfied and coming back. Reach out to us now at [email protected]
