You talking of banks,
I ve been to cbn, they don't have free wifi
fastseo:
Not only airport, banks, schools and even public buses need free WiFi.

Here in UK banks have free WiFi, school have free WiFi and also public buses. There are houses you rent you get free WiFi.
I once travelled through contonou airport, they offer 1 hour browsing, while instabul turkey.. Gives 2 hours I guess.

Our banks should do better in Nigeria.. There are banks you enter in Nigeria, you won't be able to browse.. They intentionally make network not available in banks for customers..

I don't know about others but I do know that MMIA has. I was surprised myself when I landed in September and there was free WIFI. It was slow though but it served the purpose I needed it for.

Lagos Airport actually has free wifi. I discovered it while waiting for a local flight at the waiting lounge. I think the name is FAAN or something...

So are you guys saying that there is no free WiFi in our both local and international airport
Re: Do Nigerian International Airports Have Free Wi-fi? Pls Narrate by lutheran(m): 6:20pm On Dec 10, 2023
I am surprised by comments here, as it seems to come from individuals who have not left their village. While I cannot speak for all airports in Nigeria, I can share my personal experience at the Lagos old international airport. Yesterday, I was able to use the FAAN Wifi to update some of my apps and browse the internet for a while. I have also used the FAAN Wifi in front of the new Lagos international airport on multiple occasions. Although it can be slow at times, it has served its purpose whenever I needed to connect to the wifi. I remember advising a friend who was coming from abroad to stay in front of the new international airport and connect to the wifi so he could communicate with me on WhatsApp upon arrival. He followed my instructions and was able to contact me when he landed. Additionally, I have used free wifi at both MM1 and MM2, the local airports in Lagos. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all Nigerian airports do not have free wifi.

No! Some of the workers dey even beg travelers money. I have used many airports outside Nigeria where I enjoyed free WiFi and didn't pay for trolley. Lagos international airport that has no free WiFi charged me for trolley both during my departure and during my arrival. I don't know if the trolley charge has stopped. Some workers in the Lagos airport begged me for money in low tones. I ignored them but one woman succeeded. She threw a greeting from afar and asked me a question. I had walked closer to her when I responded and she quickly switched to begging. I had to give her money because I had already appeared friendly. After giving her money, I remembered that all that glitters is not gold.

ADDED
Many have quoted me, saying Lagos airport has free WiFi. I used the Lagos international airport in October 2022. The WiFi discovered by my phone at the airport could not provide internet. The WiFi I use in other airports just connects and works fine. Maybe I checked from a wrong corner (distance) or I used Lagos airport when there was an issue with the WiFi. Note that I experienced the problem on arrival. I didn't care to check the WiFi during departure because I had data.

The Lagos airport has free Wi-Fi, but it's strange because one can’t use it to make WhatsApp calls.

As per the airport trolley carts, all the airports I have visited in the US, Europe, Canada, and Australia all charge at least $1 to use the carts, unless you are lucky to find an unused one in the open area.

I haven't travelled much. But Entebe airport in Uganda, Kigali airport in Rwanda and Jomo Kenyatta airport in Kenya that I have used repeatedly did not charge me for trolley. My brother and my friend who have respectively visited more than 10 countries within and outside Africa said Lagos airport is the only one that has charged them money for trolley.

I was able to use it for WhatsApp call to connect with people waiting.

I would agree that it may not be suitable for browsing and not available throughout the airport but it met my limited needs and it was God sent because I was never expecting it and was in disbelief.
I travel to Lagos International alot...bliev me na to bt u wont hav any network....d bastards no dey pay

Yes public buses do have WiFi. Almost all buses from London Heathrow airport to other destinations have WiFi... Next time on your WiFi and search.
Here I am buses going to the next city has WiFi. Yesterday I went to the next town about 45 minutes and it was WiFi free.

The trolley carts are stationed outside most airports in the Europe and US, and you have to pay to use them.

Free WiFi if any of our international airport have free WiFi then that airport should be among the Seven Wonders in The World.

I guess you haven’t travelled out of the country before ? All international airport has free Wi-Fi’s , this year alone I have used Abuja int airport 5 times and it never failed me . The reason why international airport has WiFi is for travelers to be able to communicate with whoever is receiving them from the airport through whatsapp call or messages as you will not have network connectivity when you enter the a new country

I travelled on the 31st October to Canada and while at the airport waiting for my flight to Casablanca with Air Maroc; so we left as early as 5am; we got to the airport by 12 midnight so while at the airport my data finished and I decided to check if the internet was working; I browsed until we left. In Casablanca while waiting for the connecting flight which we missed eventually due to my poor French; we only had few data usage, which got exhausted and we almost couldn’t rescheduled our flight or communicate with family to help
