Broadband Internet system Starlink, owned by Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, is set to fight for its share of the Nigerian internet space, following its proposed launch before the end of 2022 or thereabout.
The launch is coming months after the Internet Service system was on May 2022 approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to begin operations in Nigeria.
According to Nigeria’s minister of communications and digital economy, Prof. Isa Pantami, he said “As part of the partnership, Space X is to provide broadband access across the whole of Nigeria, enabling nationwide access to broadband connectivity way ahead of the December 2025 schedule, as outlined in our National Broadband Plan. With this collaboration with SpaceX’s Starlink, Nigeria is set to be the 1st African country to introduce the service.”
