Akpabio Urges Nigerians to Safeguard Public Facilities

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to take responsibility for protecting and maintaining government-owned facilities in their communities. He made the appeal on Tuesday during the commissioning of constituency projects in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

FG urged to back NIGCOMSAT to unlock N8bn satellite revenue

Nigeria’s satellite broadband market could witness a major turnaround if the federal government introduces bold policy reforms and fully supports the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT). This was the consensus at a satellite industry roundtable in Lagos, where stakeholders and marketers called for urgent steps to reposition the underutilized national operator. Despite broadband penetration in Nigeria rising from 35% in 2023 to 75% in 2025, NIGCOMSAT operates at just 7% of its capacity, leaving 93% idle.

Call for strategic policy shift Industry leaders at the meeting argued that one of NIGCOMSAT’s biggest challenges is its perception as a government bureaucracy rather than a commercial technology player. They urged the federal government to mandate all ministries, departments, […]
