Nigeria has become the first African country to launch the Africa-BB-Maps broadband initiative, a project aimed at expanding high-speed internet access and improving digital connectivity across the continent. The initiative seeks to provide accurate broadband infrastructure maps, enabling better planning, investment, and policy-making in the telecommunications sector. By offering detailed data on network coverage, gaps, and potential areas for development, Africa-BB-Maps will help bridge the digital divide, boost economic growth, and enhance access to education, healthcare, and e-governance services. Nigeria’s early adoption positions it as a leader in Africa’s digital transformation efforts, encouraging other countries to follow suit. The project aligns with the African Union’s digital strategy and global goals for universal internet access. With improved broadband infrastructure mapping, stakeholders can coordinate resources more effectively, foster public-private partnerships, and accelerate inclusive connectivity across Africa.
