Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Anambra State is missing among the five major states in Nigeria with the largest internet subscriber base. This is according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

ANAMBRA PEOPLE gathered that Lagos, Ogun, and Kano State led the list of states in Nigeria with the highest number of internet subscribers as of March 2022, jointly accounting for 23.8% of the total internet subscriber base in the country.

Even though Anambra was not listed among the states with the largest internet subscribers in the country, it recorded additional 286,143 subscribers. A further check reveals that Abuja recorded the highest number of internet subscriber increase on a year-on-year basis, with 487,197 additional subscribers to stand at 7.7 million, while Lagos State gained 248,314 additional subscribers.

South East has always had a low internet subscriber base and experts have attributed the low internet penetration in the South East on lack of infrastructure and government involvement to encourage private investors to help build broadband facility in the region. For instance, NBS reported that all the South Eastern states – Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo – had a combined internet subscriber base of 13.7 million in the fourth quarter ended December 2021 (Q4 2021). This is in contrast of the 18.94 million subscribers recorded by Lagos state alone.

Internet subscribers in Nigeria increased marginally by 0.62% year-on-year to 145.85 million as of March 2022 compared to 144.95 million subscribers recorded as of the corresponding period of 2021. MTN Nigeria, Glo, and Airtel led the list of telcos with the highest internet customer base with 60.7 million, 39.57 million, and 39.4 million subscribers respectively.
