The Cheapest Data Plan In Nigeria by dsnet: 6:33am On Oct 17, 2016
Internet penetration in Nigeria has come a long way since GSM technology was launched in 2001. The advent of the mobile networks saw the emergence of internet access that was available nationwide. But cost has always been an issue. In 2013, someone had a dream of when 3 GB mobile internet data for N1,000 would be available to Nigerians. I responded then that it would happen soon. From then on, the cheapest data plan in Nigeria inched on gradually towards that goal post.

When we speak about the cheapest data plan in Nigeria, we are looking at a plan that is usable all through a month at the lowest cost possible for users of generic mobile phones and smartphones. This excludes BlackBerry internet Service (BIS) users, who are becoming an extinct breed anyway.

In 2014, it sort of happened, but you needed to buy a 24 GB plan at the cost of N8,000 to get the equivalent of 3 GB for N1,000. That was far outside of the reach if the average Nigerian. That has now changed and in 2016, there is a 30-day data plan that offers more than 3 GB for just N1,000.
