The Federal Government has unveiled plans to deploy 3,700 telecommunications towers nationwide to connect about 20 million Nigerians currently without access to telephone and internet services. Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, disclosed this on Friday while commissioning a telecommunications tower under the National Universal Communications Access Programme (NUCAP) in Bende, Abia State. Tijani said the Bende facility was the first site being commissioned under the national initiative aimed at extending reliable telecommunications and broadband services to unserved and underserved communities. He added that President Bola Tinubu has given a clear mandate to work towards bringing every Nigerian online through NUCAP.
