The Nigerian Communications Commission(NCC) has said, broadband penetration in Nigeria increased from six per cent in August 2015 to 48.21 per cent by March
“The sectors contribution to the GDP increased from 8.5 per cent in 2015 to 13.55 per cent by the end of the 4th quarter in 2022. It is noteworthy that for the same period, active voice subscription also increased from about 151 million to 226.2 million. While internet subscriptions increased from about 95million to approximately 158 million in March 2023.”
Dantata, however, stated that, the commission would continue to focus on the implementation of federal government policies and plans that will foster a digital economy and financial inclusion. “The NCC supports government’s drive and initiatives towards promoting a digital economy that will support national development and economic diversification,” he said.
To Shonubi, “Let us look at the concept of a regulator. Who’s a regulator? We tend to look at NCC, the CBN and the likes but the biggest regulator is actually the government. If you sit back and think about it, your money or what you can do with your money is regulated somewhat by the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the truth is they have on every dime that you earn.
