The Federal Government has announced plans to launch two new communication satellites, NigComSat-2A and NigComSat-2B, as part of efforts to strengthen Nigerias digital transformation, national security, and economic growth.
The move, spearheaded by the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited NigComSat Ltd, will replace NigComSat-1R, which has been operational since 2011 and is now expected to remain active until January 2028 following a lifespan extension.
