Wetin dey happen, my people? Naija telecoms don shake table again! Dis time, dem don promise to spend plenty more cash for network betterment this year. Omo, dem don talk say e go pass $1 billion wey dem use for 2025…
Last year, dem carry out serious work, roll out over 2,850 new network sites wey stretch from Lagos to remote areas. Na so dem fit carry 5G waka go places wey e never touch before. Dr. Aminu Maida, wey be the big oga for Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), yarn say all dis progress na as a result of that plenti money wey dem invest.
As e be, Nigeria dey face wahala for data demand, and service no dey reach everybody well well. Dem sabi say na only urban areas and major highways dey enjoy beta service now. But no worry, dem don adjust some charges last year. After dem bump service prices by 50 percent, wahala don clear small and na telecommunication companies don begin to plan big investments again.
NCC statistics wey come for last quarter show say performance dey improve. Download speed done dey steady, and dem don see improvement for video quality too between city and village people. No be small thing o! But, e no mean say all be jolly jolly, because Naija still dey struggle with upload speed and 5G service no dey spread well. Some areas still dey limping for network coverage…
Maida don nod his head say dem go work with the operators to better dis matter. dem sabi how important dis increase for infrastructure spending go be. If dem fit do am well, Naija fit balance network coverage and meet up with data demand wey dey grow like garden pepper.
NCC dey serious about transparency, as dem dey publish network performance reports to shine light on wetin dey happen for telecoms sector. Dem dey work with global firm Ookla to gather data wey go help dem in decision making wey go fix issues for telecommunication.
As operators dey get ready to invest more than $1 billion dis year, NCC dey expect network go dey more reliable, fast, and available for all. Na so we go fit touch digital world wey dey more inclusive for everybody.
Bottom line be say dis investment no be just for small gain. Na for better service quality across Naija. So, make we dey watch as dem work well together to boost our mobile experience!
