ICTs: The Foundation for Nigeria’s Transformation
Technology
Transformation Agenda has provided the impetus for propelling Nigeria towards the attainment of her Vision 20:2020
Of importance to the Agenda is Nigeria’s ability to leverage and harness ICTs for national growth and development:
Economic: the ICT industry is one of the fastest growing of the Economy and ICT infrastructure is the foundation on which many economic services are delivered
1A frequently cited World Bank study found that low-income and middle-income countries experienced “about a 1.38 percentage point increase in GDP for each 10 per cent increase in broadband penetration”
Social: various social services are more efficiently and effectively delivered over ICTs
There is significant impact in the delivery of education, health, welfare services, public services etc.

The Information Communication Technology (ICT) industry in 2011 was dominated by the telecommunications sector and multinational corporations.
Contribution to GDP was approx. 5.46%
There was a fragmented IT sector with small domestic players made up of approximately 350 companies
Domestic value added in key areas was sub-optimal and it was characterized by consumer preference for global brands and high levels of importation of inputs and finished products
The tariff regime and challenging operating environment for manufacturing encourages ensured that this was so
Over $360m was transferred out in purchase and maintenance of software on products and services.

Sub-marine Cable
Improving environment and rapid growth in Nigeria Telecoms Sector led to:
Increased market potentials for Submarine cables
Capacity at the shore therefore increased from 4.78Tbps in 2011
SAT3, Glo1, MainOne
When MainOne came online, cost of international bandwidth crashed
From between $1700 & $1200 to between $700 & $500 per Mbps.
Where we were (2011)
14

We now have over 11 Tbpslanding at our shores
SAT3, Glo1, MainOne WACS & ACE
Today, cost is between $300 & $400 per Mbps
Plan is to purchase bandwidth on “SaEx” cable (South Atlantic Express-Proposed submarine communications cable linking South Africa to Brazil)
To ensure diverse cable routings, an alternative landing point outside Lagos is also being considered for future cable landings.
