A significant increase in data usage has been reported, with consumption rising by nearly half over the past year. This growth is putting a strain on existing infrastructure. The number of telecommunications subscriptions is also expected to increase substantially, potentially reaching 350 million within the next decade or so.

This rise in demand is causing concerns about the ability of networks to keep up. Further information about the situation is available from the Nigerian Communications Commission, which recently discussed these issues at a forum.

The commission has released data on recent usage, showing a notable surge in activity. Details about the commission's findings and the implications for the future are available from their reports.
