FG has unveiled an infrastructure roadmap to deploy 1,989 new towers across 436 LGAs identified as underserved. It forms part of the 3.7k telecom tower project aimed at closing the country’s digital divide and reaching communities that are outside network coverage.
@bosuntijani, said the project would be implemented under the Nigeria Universal Communication Access Project (NUCAP), an initiative designed to bridge the country’s digital divide.

You complain about data depletion? You'll want to read this.
I tracked my data consumption for 48 hours, and measured against @AirtelNigeria and @MTNNG reports; here is what I found.
I launched a verifiable, personal audit to find out exactly where my data was going. I documented every single action over two days and compared it with my smartphone’s app data usage report. I compared this daily with the SMS reports from two providers.

Is MTN or Airtel eating your data? @Scribe00 tracked usage for 48 hours and found discrepancies of up to 9% between phone trackers and network reports.
The test found no evidence of direct data theft but raised questions about background usage, network overhead and billing transparency.

Nigerian financial institutions lost ₦52.26 billion to fraud in 2024, up from ₦17.67 billion in 2023.
Now, the IMF and World Bank have unveiled the Bangkok Blueprint to help countries prevent, detect and respond to digital financial fraud.
With Nigeria already using safeguards like BVN verification and the Nigeria Electronic Fraud Forum, can this new framework help banks and fintechs stop fraud faster and make it easier for victims to recover their money?

Kuunda has completed a $5M share sale, with E4E Africa increasing its stake alongside existing investors.
But this isn’t fresh funding for the company. The secondary sale lets early investors cash out while Kuunda continues expanding its digital lending business across Africa.

Nigeria agreed on a ₦145-per-metre fee for fibre rollout 13 years ago. Yet Ogun charges ₦6,600, while Ekiti’s application fee reaches ₦700,000.
These costs make internet expansion harder and risk widening Nigeria’s digital divide.

Nigerians consumed a record 1.76 million TB of data in August, averaging 11.41GB per internet subscriber.
From TikTok and YouTube to remote work and online calls, data is becoming essential. But can Nigeria’s internet infrastructure keep up?

MTN gained nearly 1.7M subscribers in August, while Glo lost almost 46,000.
Nigeria’s telecom market grew to 197.17M users, but more subscribers mean more pressure on network infrastructure.
Can operators keep up with the growth?

AI is booming, but PC shipments are crashing.
Global shipments fell 20.1% in Q3 2026 as memory chips shift towards AI data centres, driving up device prices. Now, PC makers are wary of producing too much stock that buyers may not afford.

Global PC shipments fell by 20.1% YoY in Q3'26 to 62.7M units, according to @IDC . Compared to the 78.5M units recorded a year ago, the significant drop reflects the ongoing market struggles and how the AI boom has threatened PC production.
It’s one of the lowest Q3s in recent years, as the quarter is known for a seasonal lift, according to the report.
