Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, stated that the NBAN initiative aligns with Nigeria’s National Broadband Plan, 2020 to 2025, and the Ministry’s digital economy strategy, targeting 70% broadband penetration by 2025.

The NBAN is envisaged to be a multi-stakeholder platform that brings together government, businesses, and partners to expand internet access, increase usage, and promote digital inclusion in Nigeria.

In order to achieve these targets, the Federal Executive Council has approved a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to deploy 90,000 km of fibre backbone nationwide, ensuring that even the most underserved communities benefit from broadband services.
