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

Growth in Base Station Deployment

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 unstandardised 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
13
Where We Are Now and Where We Need To Be

Circa 60,000
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
27,000
2013
Operators committed to
spend at least US$6bn on
infrastructure as from
2013
2018
Includes US$3bn syndicate loan

facility extended to major
operator in the market = biggest
financial deal in sub-Saharan
Africa Communications Sector
However, investment
hampered by:
Increasing incidences
and values of taxes
and levies requested
by States
delays in obtaining
approval to build
Base Stations
Request for N250m Ecology Tax
from operators to deploy Base
Stations
Operators waiting for 6 months
for approval to deploy 300 Base
Stations
14
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
Harmonised regulation of base stations between NCC and NESREA
15

Extending communications infrastructure to un-served and
under-served areas
Accelerated Mobile Phone Expansion (AMPE-BTS) programme
is helping to deploy Base Stations in rural areas
Total of 54 Base Stations installed; 28 more planned for 2013
Rural Broadband Initiative (RUBI) provides wholesale internet

bandwidth to ISPs, Cyber cafes, and ICT centres like
Community Communication Centres (CCC) in rural
communities
Of the 18 pilot sites selected, 12 are 95% complete and transmission
testing is currently on-going in Akure and Osogbo
16
Fibre-Optic Networks
Since then an additional 5.1
Tb/s of capacity has been
added making a total of
10Tb/s
The roll-out of the terrestrial fibre-optic

network is not keeping pace with the
increasing international bandwidth
landing on Nigerias shores
This total is expected to

increase further to a potential
15Tb/s by the end of the year
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)
Access to a potential 4.76Tb/s

of international bandwidth
capacity as at time Ministry
was created
However additional fibre is

mainly duplications along a
few commercial routes

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
27
Public Access Venues (PAVs)

Implementation of guidelines
on deployment of PAVs is
resulting in better coordination
and more efficient and
equitable spread of resources

28
Inclusive Development
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.

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
35
Creating Virtuous Cycles

Ministry initiatives like Tech Launch Pad identify

the best talent and match them to industry
Innovation hubs provide platform for talent to
develop their solutions, be mentored and learn
business skills
VC fund aimed at ICTs look to innovation hubs (as
well as larger market) for worthwhile projects
Local handset manufacture will be key market for:
locally designed apps, games, film, TV, blogs, news
as well as apps created round data sets released
under on-going Open Government Project
Locally hosted sites and increased peering points
will optimize use of available bandwidth
Digitizing government data sets will create

immediate opportunity for entry level ICT jobs
Locally sited handset factories as well as
improved operations at local OEMs will create
new job opportunities for ICT market.

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

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
46

duplication and at times conflict in objectives of sectorial policies

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
