90 Percent Nigerians Still On Feature Phones by iamnigeria: 12:55pm On Dec 02, 2013
Out of the 140 million Nigerians who use mobile phones, only an approximately 12.7 million use data connected phones, meaning that over 90 per cent of Nigerians still use feature phones, said Robert Bole, Director of Innovation, Broadcasting Board of Directors, Voice of America.


Bole stated this while speaking on mobile opportunities for Africa at the inaugural edition of the Nigerian Apps Summit held in Lagos recently.

He said that, "A mobile opportunity that not only exists for Africa but the rest of the world is how services will connect from low bandwidth populations to high bandwidth services. In Nigeria, there are approximately 12.7 million data connected phones out of total subscription of140 million. This implies that more than 90 per cent of Nigerians are still on feature phones," he said.
