The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reported a drop in the country’s teledensity from 115.63 per cent in August 2023 to 102.97 per cent in November 2023.
This adjustment aligns with the International Telecommunications Union’s calculation and reflects the latest population growth figures, using a 2022 projection of Nigeria’s population at 216.7 million.
The teledensity index measures telephone penetration per 100 individuals in the population.
According to NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Reuben Muoka, the adjustment ensures accuracy in data representation and adherence to international best practices.
The active voice subscription statistics showed marginal growth, reaching 221.7 million in September 2023.
Internet subscriptions also experienced a slight increase from 159 million in August 2023 to 160.1 million in September 2023.
In October 2023, the industry witnessed a 0.19 per cent growth in active voice subscriptions, while teledensity stood at 102.49 per cent, with a 0.60 per cent increase in Internet subscriptions compared to September.
November 2023 saw a 0.46 per cent growth in active voice subscriptions, teledensity at 102.97 per cent, and a 0.57 per cent increase in Internet subscriptions compared to October 2023.
The adjustment by NCC follows Section 89 Subsection 3(d) of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003, aiming to monitor, report, and provide statistical analysis of the telecom industry.
Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, emphasized that accurate data is crucial for measuring progress towards increased broadband penetration and other industry targets. The adjusted metrics also contribute valuable information for international bodies and stakeholders
