About us
POP Africa: the infrastructure line of POP Global.
POP Africa brings together POP's antenna site and fibre optic work on the continent. POP Nigeria and POP DRC are its operating companies, each building and running infrastructure in its own market.
POP Africa
Two companies, two services, one model
Antenna sites and fibre optic infrastructure, shared by licensed operators. Registered in Lagos as POP Global Nigeria Limited, RC 1901102, a private company limited by shares incorporated in March 2022, majority-owned by POP Global Holdings LLC.

Each company builds and operates in its own market, under its own licences and local partnerships. What they share is the model and the two services: antenna sites and fibre optic, owned and run by POP, used by the licensed operators.

Leadership
Who runs it
- Yechiel Ross: Chairman of the Board, POP Global Holdings LLC, and Chairman and President of POP Congo SA. Works across telecommunications infrastructure, cross-border corporate structuring and institutional real estate, from Bucharest.
- Badajite Cluwaye Hoshoti: Co-Chief Executive and managing partner, POP Nigeria. Leads the Nigerian operation, the build programme and the relationships with operators.
What we are not
An infrastructure owner, not an operator of networks.
POP Africa's companies do not hold mobile spectrum and do not sell retail mobile service. We build, own and run the physical layer, the antenna sites and the fibre, and the licensed operators run their networks over it. That separation is deliberate. It keeps us out of competition with our own customers, and it is what allows several of them to sit on the same structure.
Partnerships, supply and site opportunities.
POP Africa is open to conversations in both of its markets.
