Nigeria represents the largest mobile telecommunications market in Africa and one of the continent’s fastest-growing digital economies.
With a population exceeding 220 million people and rapidly expanding mobile connectivity, voice communication remains a central component of everyday communication, business activity, and public infrastructure.
International voice connectivity also plays an important role due to Nigeria’s large global diaspora and cross-border economic ties.
