This was disclosed in the digital economy report presented by Groupe Spécial Mobile Association to the Federal Government through the Ministry of Innovation and Digital Economy.
GSMA, the global advocacy body for telecoms operators informed that service operators spend more on cable repairs and maintenance from damages. One approach, according to GSMA, to reducing the impact of excessive fibre cuts would be to provide fibre networks, and indeed all telecoms network infrastructure , with legal protection.
Already, a Special Purpose Vehicle that will deliver an additional 90,000km of fibre optic cable to complement existing infrastructure for universal access to the Internet across Nigeria will be unveiled by the Federal Government. The project is expected to help the country increase Internet penetration in Nigeria to over 70 per cent and reduce the cost of access to the Internet by over 60 per cent.
