Connect Nigeria
Context: Whilst the number of mobile (GSM) subscribers is increasing, fixed
line subscribers has stagnated, and fixed wireless declined Connectivity is concentrated in urban, commercial areas; approx. 40%
of rural areas has no mobile coverage Challenges in the operating environment are constituting a limiting
factor on further expansion of telecom networks and quality of service
What we need to do: Increase the spread and scope (i.e. types of technologies) of
communications infrastructure across Nigeria Prioritise roll-out to un-served and under-served areas

The number of base stations in Nigeria has increased exponentially since the inception of GSM providers. From 116 in 2001 to about 21,000 by 2010
The pace of growth has however slowed even as some existing base stations have been decommissioned as a result of terror attacks, theft and vandalisation
Growth in Base Station Deployment
2013. Federal Ministry of Communication Technology
13
Factors impeding/slowing down deployment: 1.Higher set-up and operating costs - due to multiple taxation fees and levies; lack of sustainable power supply; vandalisation and theft of equipment 2.Delays and opportunity costs - due to multiple regulation and un-standardised application and approval processes 3.Security challenges - vulnerability of infrastructure and personnel
About 150 Base Stations were lost in 2012 due to bombings and flooding; twice as many dependent Base Stations were also affected

2013 2018
Circa 60,000
27,000 Operators committed to spend at least US$6bn on infrastructure as from 2013
However, investment hampered by: Increasing incidences
and values of taxes and levies requested by States
delays in obtaining approval to build Base Stations
Includes US$3bn syndicate loan facility extended to major operator in the market = biggest financial deal in sub-Saharan Africa Communications Sector
Request for N250m Ecology Tax from operators to deploy Base Stations Operators waiting for 6 months for approval to deploy 300 Base Stations
Significantly more base stations need to be deployed across the country to meet national target of a five-fold increase in broadband penetration by 2018
What the Ministry has Done
Facilitated increased confidence in the Nigerian communications sector leading to willingness to increase investment in infrastructure Secured commitment of Government at the highest level
His Excellency, Mr President facilitated merger of three (3) CDMA operators His Excellency, Mr Vice President led Delegation to ITU Telecom World 2012
Engaged with industry stakeholders to identify challenges and negotiate solutions Secured agreement with State Governments via National Economic
Council to eliminate multiple taxation and streamline application and approval processes

Approx. 30,000km of fibre had been laid as at 2010. Additional 11,000km was laid since then (of which 4,000 over power line) However additional fibre is mainly duplications along a few commercial routes
Since then an additional 5.1 Tb/s of capacity has been added making a total of 10Tb/s This total is expected to increase further to a potential 15Tb/s by the end of the year
Access to a potential 4.76Tb/s of international bandwidth capacity as at time Ministry was created
The roll-out of the terrestrial fibre-optic network is not keeping pace with the increasing international bandwidth landing on Nigerias shores

Connect Nigerians Context:
The rate of adoption of ICTs by Nigerians is low: 0.9% of Households owned a PC, and a further 3.6% had access to one [NBS Survey, 2011] 0.5% of Households owned the device they use for accessing the Internet, and a
further 3.1% accessed the Internet through other means [NBS Survey, 2011]
Ownership and adoption rates exhibit socio-demographic patterns Ownership and adoption rates are lower in rural areas than urban and amongst
women then men
Ownership and use therefore need to be improved overall but more so amongst those with the most to gain from a more inclusive development agenda
What we need to do: Make access to infrastructure and devices (PCs and handsets) easier, more
affordable Increase digital awareness and literacy amongst the population

An unacceptably high number of Nigerians are excluded from infrastructures that can meet their basic needs. Increasing the spread of ICTs (mobile phones in particular) can be a means through which this can be corrected.
ICTs contribute to increasing social welfare and security. By being applicable in the delivery of education, health, security and other basic needs.
What the Ministry has Done
Declared Nigerian students a priority Collaborated with Ministry of Education, NUC, USPF and Worldbank
(STEP-B) to deploy a fibre-optic Research and Education Network 27 Federal Universities connected by July 2013 (links currently being
tested) 12 Medical Colleges, 28 off campus sites and 9 Federal Universities by Sep
2013 State Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education in 2014/2015

Innovation, Job Creation & Local Content
Context: The Nigerian ICT Industry is dominated by international companies They have:
70% of the PC market share 100% of mobile phone market share 78% market shares of mobile network operators
Software imports into Nigeria estimated at about US$1bn annually (NOTAP)
Participation of local companies further restricted by predominance of unspecialised value chains highly fragmented industry and intense competition in limited, fringe sub-sectors
What we needed to do: Create enabling environment for innovation; lower market-entry barriers
and increase the participation of Nigerian companies Stimulate job creation in the industry

ICT in Government
Context: Absence of focal point for the adoption of ICTs by Government, and for
governance resulted in: Inability to capitalise on economies of scale increased IT expenditure on
hardware and services Lack of coordination and standardisation of technology used by government high
numbers of legacy, proprietary and interoperable systems Proliferation of non-standardised data sets and duplication of information (often
using different formats) Dispersed infrastructure vulnerable to security threats
What we needed to do:
Achieve a more comprehensive and integrated use of information and communications technology (ICT) in government to provide better response to citizens demands, improve service delivery, and make administration more efficient

ENABLING ENVIRONMENT
Enabling Environment
Context: Separated policies existed for the various sub-sectors of the ICT
industry that were being administered with little to no interaction to each other
Absence of an overall policy and identifiable goals resulted in duplication and at times conflict in objectives of sectorial policies
What we needed to do: Define and implement a framework to spearhead and guide the
development of the Nigerian ICT industry Align policies and laws to capitalise on opportunities and
developments in technology Attract investment into the industry (local and foreign) Provide a predictable and stable environment that supports the
development of the industry
