Description
Description | Project BRIDGE is the federal government of Nigeria's flagship broadband initiative aiming to expand the national fibre network from about 35,000km to 125,000km by 2030. The project is supported by the World Bank with $500 million funding. The initiative faces challenges due to poor coordination in infrastructure rollout and frequent fibre cuts linked to road construction activities. Stakeholders advocate for the adoption of a Dig-Once policy to install fibre ducts during road construction to reduce costs, outages, and accelerate broadband access. |
