The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says Nigeria’s major highways and intercity roads enjoy near-universal mobile coverage, with only about 0.1 percent of surveyed routes recording complete service outages. He said environmental and terrain-related factors still affected signal quality and consistency, particularly in rural, border and hard-to-reach locations. Abdullahi said the NCC combined crowdsourced network measurements from platforms such as Ookla with geospatial road maps to analyse user experience across Nigeria’s road network. Abdullahi said the report identified about 326 kilometres of primary roads with zero-service zones, a small fraction of Nigeria’s more than 290,000km road network. He added that trunk roads with lower population density recorded lower quality compliance, while secondary roads serving communities generally performed better.
