👨🏿‍🚀 TC Daily — Unicorns in public Egyptian fintech unicorn has received approval to temporarily list on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) as it prepares to go public this year. MNT-Halan plans to list the holding company for its Egyptian operations only. This means its parent company, which also operates in countries, including Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, will not be listed. The move comes as MNT-Halan weighs an IPO that could value the company at between $900 million and $1 billion, Bloomberg reported in June, marking a major step for one of Egypt’s biggest fintechs.

The 1.19% real return: Is investing ₦100,000 in Nigerian Treasury bills still worth it? Leaving ₦100,000 ($75.5) idle in a commercial bank account might feel safe, but with inflation eroding the purchasing power of cash, more Nigerians are seeking higher-yielding alternatives. Treasury bills (T-bills) have emerged as one of the most accessible vehicles for retail capital. These short-term debt securities are issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria and mature in a year or less. Sold via periodic central bank auctions, primary dealers bid on price and yield. Essentially, investors lend funds to the government for a fixed duration and receive their principal plus built-in returns at maturity. techcabal.com/2026/09/14/fol…

PARTNER: It started with one observation: businesses are having more customer conversations than ever, and keeping up with every call, question and follow-up is getting harder. Missed calls became missed revenue. Support queues got longer. Channels stopped talking to each other. So we built VoiceEmpire. It doesn't just chat. It picks up the phone. It listens. It understands. It responds. It follows up. It sells. Answers customer calls. Handles support conversations. Runs outbound campaigns. Speaks multiple languages. Follow up automatically. One platform. Every customer conversation. Live now at VoiceEmpire.ai

MTN Nigeria has emerged as the dominant player in Nigeria’s fibre internet market, but its growing lead masks a bigger problem: fixed broadband remains a tiny part of the country’s internet market. Data from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for June 2026 shows MTN had 176,468 Fibre-To-The-x (FTTx) subscribers, customers connected to the internet through fibre cables that run directly to homes, offices, or buildings. That gave MTN 55.2% of Nigeria’s 319,735 FTTx connections. The operator’s fibre subscriber base has also nearly doubled since January, rising 97.3% from 89,441 to 176,468. But the size of the overall market puts that growth in perspective. techcabal.com/2026/09/14/mtn…
