The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami) has insisted on the government’s commitment to guarantee a minimum of 70% Broadband Penetration in Nigeria by 2025.

He revealed this during the visit of Phase 3 Telecoms Limited led by its Executive Chairman Mr. Stanley Jegede at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja.

According to him, Digital Economy Policy and Strategy for digital Nigeria will be impossible without broadband penetration in Nigeria.

He added that broadband penetration has to be depended on and appreciated for things to change.

His words, “Whatever we do we relied so much on broadband penetration. That is why any effort to compliment what we have been doing to ensure broadband penetration, even for one kilometer is highly commendable, we do not undermine it, we really appreciate it”.

“The main responsibility of government is to ensure that the environment is favorable and conducive and if there are any challenges, government will intervene. This is what we will continue to do and I assure you within the time I am going to spend here, I will give 100% to ensure that all the challenges we encounter are addressed”.
