Libya’s Ministry of Communications and Informatics, under the government appointed by the House of Representatives, has officially granted a unified telecommunications licence to OZON Aljaded For Telecom and Technology Group. The move marks a significant step in Libya’s efforts to modernise its digital infrastructure.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the ministry confirmed that the decision followed a comprehensive review of bids submitted under strict regulatory and technical standards. It added that the licence aims to enhance the quality of telecommunications services, strengthen digital infrastructure, and support national development across all sectors.
The ministry stated that the licence offer was announced on 5 December 2024, attracting interest from 25 companies. However, only two companies—Ozon and Giga Communications and Technology—purchased the bid documents.
Ozon was selected following an evaluation by a special committee composed of experts and academics appointed by the ministry. The committee assessed the proposals based on legal, technical, and economic criteria, as outlined in Law No. 22 of 2010 governing Libya’s telecommunications sector.
The ministry said Ozon has now been authorised to begin implementing its projects, with the licence officially effective from 4 March 2025.
This development is part of broader reforms aimed at introducing competition, encouraging private investment, and expanding access to high-quality communications services across the country. The ministry affirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives that improve digital connectivity and provide citizens with reliable telecom services.
