In today’s world, staying connected through digital channels for over six hours a day has become the norm, whether for socializing, learning, or working. Nigeria’s internet expansion has progressed, but challenges in broadband persist, with only 154 active internet subscribers out of a population exceeding 220 million in 2022, emphasizing the need for reliable connectivity.
