Sun King, the world’s largest off-grid solar company, has unveiled a new pay-as-you-go (PayGo) smartphone initiative in Nigeria, offering customers flexible instalment plans to access premium devices without high upfront costs. The move aims to expand participation in the digital economy, particularly for students, entrepreneurs, and low-income families.
Through the programme, Nigerians can acquire smartphones from top brands including Samsung, Infinix, and Tecno, by making a small initial deposit and paying the balance in manageable instalments. The scheme leverages Sun King’s established PayGo model, which has already made solar energy affordable and accessible across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
This initiative bridges the gap between connectivity and affordability. For many Nigerians, a smartphone is essential for education, business, accessing online services, and staying informed. By reducing the financial barrier, Sun King ensures more people can participate fully in Nigeria’s growing digital ecosystem.
Omoyemi Tuga, Vice President of PayGo Sales for West and Central Africa at Sun King, said, “We have helped households and businesses overcome high upfront costs for solar power. Now, we are applying the same approach to smartphones, making it easier for Nigerians to stay connected and thrive in the digital economy.”
Customers can sign up for the programme through Sun King’s nationwide network of sales agents or visit any Sun King retail outlet to complete a simple onboarding process and start using their device the same day. Payment can be made conveniently via mobile money, integrating with digital IDs and other financial tools.
Sun King’s PayGo smartphone plan complements its wider mission of providing sustainable access to essential technologies. Since 2007, the company has delivered reliable solar power solutions to underserved communities across Africa and Asia, supporting energy access for over 1.8 billion people. The new smartphone initiative continues this mission by enabling digital empowerment alongside energy accessibility.
