On a humid June morning in Lagos, Starlink quietly flipped the switch, restoring direct shipments.
After a seven-month pause, Nigerians can once again order the company’s residential kits straight from its website or approved local retailers.
This is more than a relaunch; it’s a statement.
At the same time, the company reinforced its presence by opening a walk-in office on Victoria Island, Lagos.
Although, customers must still purchase hardware online or through authorised partners, the physical centre offers support and information—bringing the company closer to its Nigerian users.
In a country where personal connection matters, this decision marks a strategic shift in approach.
On June 29, 2025, Starlink resumed direct deliveries of its residential kits to Lagos and other Nigerian cities.
As a result, customers can once again order setup kits through Starlink’s official website or buy them from certified local retailers.
With this move, Starlink has not only restored service but also reignited momentum.
Steady Growth Since 2023
Looking back, Starlink first entered the Nigerian market in early 2023, launching quietly from Ivie House on Ajose Adeogun Street in Lagos.
Since then, users—especially in rural and peri-urban areas—have embraced the service.

These communities often lack reliable broadband infrastructure, so Starlink’s arrival filled a critical gap.
Meanwhile, Nigeria has long faced deep-rooted connectivity challenges.
Fibre vandals, erratic power supply, and crumbling infrastructure frequently disrupt traditional internet services.
Consequently, many Nigerians view satellite internet as a dependable alternative.
Nigeria As A Digital Launchpad
Unlike ground-based systems, Starlink’s service delivers high-speed, low-latency internet directly from space, bypassing local limitations.
Fortunately, regulatory bottlenecks have begun to ease.
Starlink has responded by expanding its local operations and deepening its footprint.
With the return of direct shipping and the launch of a physical support hub, the company has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Nigeria.
Ultimately, Starlink has chosen Nigeria not only as a critical market but also as a launchpad for wider African expansion.
By reconnecting with Nigerian customers, the company is helping to reconnect Nigeria with the digital world—one satellite at a time.
