According to Global Digital Insights, about 45.4% of Nigeria’s population lives in rural areas. The World Resource Institute reports that over 85 million Nigerians lack access to electricity. According to Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), nearly 30 million Nigerians in rural and suburban areas are without telecommunications services. A significant portion of the Nigerian population is ‘under-electrified.’ Many lack basic access to telephony, internet, and electricity.
