• 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
– Harmonised regulation of base stations between NCC and NESREA
© 2013. Federal Ministry of Communication Technology 15
What the Ministry has Done
• 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

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

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

Inclusive Development
© 2013. Federal Ministry of Communication Technology 29
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

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

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.

• 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
• 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
