The Federal Government, on Wednesday, approved the sum of N24.20bn for the provision of broadband internet connection in at least 20 airports, 43 schools and six marketplaces nationwide.

Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Pantami, revealed this to State House correspondents after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari .

Pantami said the selected local and international airports are drawn from the six geopolitical zones, with three airports from each on average. The higher institutions of learning and markets that will benefit from the five-month project are also drawn from the geopolitical zones. He said the broadband infrastructure would ensure connectivity in airports, ease e-learning in schools and ease mobile transactions in markets as the economy goes cashless.“In these two memos, certain intervention projects, are going to be implemented by the federal government of Nigeria through the Nigerian Communications Commission of providing Internet in 20 selected airports in Nigeria and higher institutions of learning and also some markets to support micro small and medium enterprises.

“In each geopolitical zone, you have around three airports. In the southwest, we have Lagos and Ondo. For the South-East, we have Anambra and Enugu.

N24.2bn

Rather than using the money for the Internet at the airport, kindly use the same money to fix the airport facilities. conveyor belts break down often, AC are not working, roofs are leaking, etc. Although I am confident that Jagaban would ensure those challenges are fixed.

I hope the money will not be syphoned.officialEFCC please monitor. 😊 thank you 🙏
