The Nigerian Communications Committee (NCC) report that Nigeria ranked seventh most used mobile phones and 11th in terms of internet penetration.
Umar Danbatta, the NCC Executive vice-chairman disclosed this on Thursday, at the ‘Emerging Technology Forum’ for stakeholders in the telecommunications industry.
In order to maximize the social and economic consequences of the digital era, digital transformation is a global necessity.
Network Readiness Index (NRI) is a guiding metric that measures the role and impact of information and communication technology (ICT).
Danbatta said: “Nigeria is a telecommunications powerhouse, accounting for 82 per cent of the continent’s telecom subscribers and 29 per cent of the continent’s internet consumption.
“Our country ranks eleventh in the world for internet penetration and seventh in mobile phone usage.
“The NRI team’s global data shows that digital transformation is a global imperative for maximising the social and economic effects of the digital era.
“Despite these remarkable metrics, our Network Readiness Index ranking for 2022 of 109th out of 131 countries is both humbling and challenging.”
