The surprise visit of Facebook CEO and Founder, Mark Zuckerberg to Nigeria indeed injected a new dose enthusiasm and innovative exuberance to her tech ecosystem. As ‘selfies’ are shuttering around and handshakes were being exchanged, for me, Mark Zuckerberg’s trip to Nigeria revealed a new type of business initiative. Yes. A very lucrative one.

During his signature town hall meeting held in Victoria Island, he told a success story about Rosemary Njoku, a female entrepreneur who sells internet connectivity to people nearby.

It was announced around late August, 2016 that Facebook has begun the deployment of Express WiFi hotspots around Lagos, Nigera in collaboration with coolink.ng. Nigeria will be the second location where ExpressWiFi is being deployed after India.

Express Wifi offers very affordable internet data compared to the average internet rates in Nigeria. Every Express Wifi hotspot is served by a 10Mbps connection that is shared between users.
