The number of people using mobile phones in Nigeria continues to increase on a daily basis with young and old, male and female struggling to get connected to telecom service provider.
When the world adopted and started using mobile phones a couple of years ago, no one imagined it could simplify our lives this much or that we would become this addicted to it.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) informed Nigerians that MTN remains the largest telecom provider with 92.71 million mobile subscriptions.
MTN it would seem is doing excellently well in the art of connecting Nigerians “everywhere you go”
Close behind MTN is Globacom with 60.76 million, Airtel with 60.30 million, and 9mobile with 13.07 million.
The NCC hinted that mobile subscribers rose from 226.2 million in 2022 to 226.84 million in 2023 while teledensity also rose to 119.01% from 118.5.
Mobile Internet subscriptions also grew to 156.42 million, with broadband penetration rising to 48.49% and subscriptions hitting 92.56 million.
The Chief Operating Officer, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, Ajibola Olude, believes the growth of mobile subscriptions can be tied to the increasing reliance on the Internet by individuals.
