The Nigerian government has set its sights on an ambitious project to connect all 774 local government areas (LGAs) with fibre optic cables. This initiative, estimated to cost $2 billion, aims to significantly improve broadband internet access across the country.
The Federal Government (FG), on Wednesday, announced the plan and revealed the creation of a dedicated fund to finance the project.
This was revealed by the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, on Wednesday when he briefed State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
