The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday, said there was currently 100 per cent broadband penetration across the country.
He explained that from 23 per cent coverage in 2019, the Federal Government had increased the broadband penetration by 77 per cent to 100 per cent in 2023.
“As of today, broadband can be accessed everywhere in the country, whether in the urban area, rural area or desert. We are the first African country to attain this and the only one so far,” the President stated. This came as the President revealed that the communication ministry’s quarterly revenue had grown considerably, adding that “we we moved from generating N51bn in three months to N408bn in three months.”
The National President, NACCIMA, John Udeagbala, said the conference was put together to promote the technology ecosystem, establish potentials of digital economy for job creation, and identify opportunities that exist in the tech industry in Nigeria.All rights reserved.
