The teledensity in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry increased by 7.08 per cent within six months, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Teledensity or level of telephone penetration measures the percentage of a country’s population with access to telephony services as determined by the active subscriber base.

It has a direct relationship with the number of mobile subscriptions on telecommunications networks and as it grows, so does the subscriber base and vice versa.
