I posted an article on the top 8 problems of Internet growth in Nigeria, after some research and things happening, here are possible solutions and top remedies for Internet growth in Nigeria considering the obstacles hindering our technology growth. Power problem has been at the root of technological backwardness in Nigeria. Government foot-dragging attitudes coupled with massive corruption that has been synonymous with African leaders. Adequate power supply should be provided to power Internet backbone facilities. Alternate power sources such as solar such energy need to be explored. Some of the remedies that can improve ICT and Internet growth in Nigeria are listed below:-

1.) Aggressive Power Supply Initiatives - In bid to encourage foreign investment in ICT, increased Internet growth government should pursue aggressively the power supply sector, because without power nothing works out.


2.) Poverty Eradication Policies - Poverty gap between the rich and the poor should be eradicated to ensure equitable distribution of wealth, which will in turn increase people’s interest in education and ICT acceptance.


3.) Job Creation Policies - Rapid job creation policies will encourage earning, people can engage in two or more hobs to increase their income and subsequently acquire ICT tools like computer sets.


4.) Private–public Collaboration Efforts - There should be encouragement from government towards all private-public collaboration in eradication of poverty, funding of infrastructural development and education of the people on ICT concepts.


5.) Mass Literacy Effort - Education should not be for rich and well to do in the society, rather an aggressive plan on eradication of illiteracy in the country should be favored against mass looting of public wealth.


Other remedies that can eradicate Internet problems in Nigeria:-

Increase in the teledensity

Infrastructural development

Support from improved personnel’s.

Awareness creation on uses of internet

Integration of internet education in school curricular

Remove import duty on telecoms components, etc.

Deal with power, first and foremost.

Stop with the government interference in the power sector. Government should set guidelines but a national grid in a country the size of Nigeria is foolish.

The rest will take care of itself.

I think we need enabled environment to be self reliance, e.g constant electricity, more channels for importation, job creation and a corrupt free society.

we dont need fish but teach us how to fish.

Our universities should go on wifi for students to have access to internet, i mean students having school's portal email. we lack research skill on our campuses. we should stop copy and paste sydrome. just my observation to op key points.

Access is still expensive.
