The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello, has said that telecommunications operators who want to deploy broadband infrastructure in green areas will only pay N14.50 as Right of Way charges.

He said this at the official launch of some projects approved by the Federal Executive Council under the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy in Abuja.

He said, “As a part of our contribution to broadband communication, from December 1, 2022, for the next two years, the FCT will charge only N14.50 per linear data for all telecommunications companies that want to deploy broadband in the FCT in green areas. Green areas are areas where we have not already established the infrastructure on ground.”

Before the harmonisation, the telecoms operators had been paying various sums, ranging from N4,000 to N8,000 per metre, in different parts of the country, with such high and arbitrary charges seen as disincentive to investment in the sector. The N14.50 fee for green areas by the FCT minister is a 90 per cent reduction from the regular N145 per meter charges.
