Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Federal Government said it will, on Thursday, November 24, award contracts that would accelerate the deployment of broadband infrastructure across the country. 

The projects for which contracts will be awarded include the provision of broadband infrastructure for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), as well as for tertiary and higher institutions of learning across the country’s six geopolitical zones.  

Through the National Broadband Plan (NBP 2020-2025), Nigeria is aiming to achieve 70% broadband penetration by 2025. Part of the strategy to achieving this is to have broadband connections in every tertiary institution in the country.
