The Nigerian Communications Commission NCC has announced plans to introduce a first-of-its-kind Digital Connectivity Index that will rank all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory FCT on their broadband readiness and digital infrastructure performance.
The initiative, unveiled on Wednesday, is part of the telecom regulator's broader push to drive investment, accountability, and uniformity across Nigeria's telecom sector.
Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, disclosed the plan during the Business Roundtable on Improving Investments in Broadband Connectivity and Safeguarding Critical National Infrastructure held in Abuja. The event brought together governors, state officials, operators, investors, and development partners to explore strategies for expanding broadband coverage and protecting critical telecom infrastructure.
