Mr. Yomi Arowosafe from the Universal Service Provision Fund praised the International Telecommunication Union and the UK Foreign Office for helping connect rural Nigeria. He spoke at a big meeting in Lagos where many important people came together. The group wants to bring network coverage to areas across Nigeria that lack good connections.
Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Communications Minister, attended with other key figures like Dr. Aminu Maida from the Nigerian Communications Commission. President Bola Tinubu backs these efforts to improve Nigeria through better connectivity. The NCC promises to support all USPF projects with rules that speed up digital growth.
Arowosafe explained that the meeting showed their shared goal of expanding connections for everyone. The workshop focused on team efforts to create lasting growth in places without service. He stressed that government, businesses, and community leaders must work as partners to make sure no area gets left behind.
Before the meeting, USPF asked people what they thought through questionnaires. These answers helped shape discussions about ways to build connections, improve skills, boost security, and find money to keep services running. Arowosafe urged everyone to share their knowledge and help build a stronger digital system for all Nigerians.
