ICYMI: Metro fibre networks account for 25% of sector’s infrastructure | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

The networks are concentrated in major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and within Edo and Ogun states while other locations remain unserved or underserved.

The report noted that despite the achievements, the ICT sector is witnessing an infrastructure deficit with only 54,000 kilometers of backbone and middle-mile fibre deployed with significant duplication. NCC listed other challenges bedeviling the sector to include import obligations and long authorization processes; destruction and vandalism of equipment; inadequate roads and social facilities; transmission infrastructure challenges, and over-taxation.

The Commission is also expected to monitor and sanction telecoms operators who fail to carry out their universal service obligations as contained in their license documents.
