- Minister of Communications, Innovations and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, says it will cost about $2bn to Install fibre optics cables across Nigeria. The minister, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, also said advanced technology, the Fifth-Generation (5G) network, exists in Nigeria.
He, however, said the infrastructure that supports the advanced technology is not everywhere in the country. He said it would cost about $2bn to wire the whole of Nigeria for the seamless experience of the 5G network.
“We do in some places,” he said when asked whether 5G exists in Nigeria.

Bosun is sound, and his words are carefully crafted and reassuring. Hope dey for naija
Seun will TALK and TALK as though he's interviewing HIMSELF 😂
On the contrary, Seun is being very analytical and interrogative with his line of questioning, as it’s poignant style to extract as much information and detail as possible within a limited amount of time.
One of my fav as a minister. Lately, he's talking like a politician. I hope he succeeds. He's a very succesful person I look up to.
Interesting! I studied all about Fibre optics. I can design and lay some of that fibre optics around the nation.
That is why we should have technocrats in positions of authority. Look at how he talks with confidence. May he drive the sector to the next level.
Thank God, NIGERIANS have gotten it right by voted for a man that has flair for appointing capable hands. NIGERIA will be great again.
Impressed with the minister.
Dr Bosun Tijani, a pride of all wellmeaning Nigerians who sincerely seeks progress for this country.
Dude is going around in circles
Am happy to see the minister
If only and if Nigeria leaders are futuristic and thinking sustainability, they will hastily and aggressively begin to invest the $2bn for the tech connectivity and internet availability across all nooks and crannies of the nation. Not doing so is a great disservice to the future generation. The world is now digital, the future is all about technology. Anything else is a complete waste of resources and thinking existentially.
Lol they don't even have electricity yet
The enemies of progress would dig those cables out.
Nigerian leaders are not futurist thinking because they are in panic mode. Crude oil is the one thing we can export right now to get back foreign exchange. For Tech and 5g etc, we're not sure what the end product is, how can it bring foreign exchange back here in return? Has tech helped in all countries that it was introduced to or did it just lead to social media battles and uprising by the people to remove their government? If this is not cleared up, the leaders will never support it.
😅
Good interview Bosun though some more details may be need. Thanks for the Strategic BP, and i hope other ministers do the same. I agree on the role of technology in pulling in growth and innovation into Nigeria, and that Nigeria has the talent to export. Also technology can deal with corruption through transparency and digitising processes. You however need to work with the energy sector. Seun will also need to study a bit more on this 😃😃😃.
It's obvious that my brother Seun knows enough about politics and law, not technology 🙄
I think Nigeria has better priorities before fiber.
1. Security
2. Electricity
3. Oil refinieries
4. Food production
5. Port management
6. Public transport
7. Corruption
8. Tribalism
9. Manufacturing
10. Healthcare
Technology can solve majority of those problems.
@@moyosoreatobatele8 haha technology can solves corruption, tribalism, security? Not to mention incompetence?
@@TabsT-vy5jy Lack of technology is at the root of all Nigeria's problems, from corruption to food crisis, electricity and overall service delivery.
@@moyosoreatobatele8 you need education my friend. Some years ago China which is 150x more technologically advanced than Nigeria had some corrupt billionaires. The Chinese government executed them swiftly. And there was technology already. So what on earth are you talking about? In Nigeria name one I say it again ONE person jailed for corruption and is still in jail?
Technology with no light. Fix light then go into Technology other sectors will be solved.
speaks so intelligently
Ask question for 3mins and expect answers in 1min.
I have my reservations but as a patriotic Nigerian, I will keep my fingers crossed. Four or eight years would soon be completed.
Government spend her money to lay cables for private companies??? 1 million job creation is to train Nigerians and send half or all of them Abroad??? How does these plans benefit ??? THAT WILL BE A DESERVICE TO NIGERIA. This Idea they want to operate is to build Western nations.
Please, the Minister never said that....haba! When did he say anything about 'laying cables for private companies'?? Please lets pay proper attention!
@@SarisLtd when Government fund the laying of cables what is the meaning sir/ma'am? Maybe the headline of the interview by channels was also wrong
@icetruck7564 OMG, please listen to him again and carefully. He was clear it would NOT be Govt money but that Govt would facilitate access to available. Funds are available through ITU and the like for such but are only accessed by private companies through the Country's responsible/ sector agency. Please read the transcript if your need to and know a bit about how the industry works. He alluded to that point severally along with the strategy doc. Its easy to shout (wolf) without proper research.
@@icetruck7564yes Channels is being LAZY and sensational. If they had any sense they'd have read the strategy doc and had better and sensible questions for the Minister. Unfortunately for channels, this Minister knows his onions as an industry professional.
Una no dey ever listen
What Nigeria needs to fix
1. STEM Education & Using our language in schools.
2. Wage distribution ratio across all sector irrespective education level cannot be higher than 6.
3. Agricultural farming, food processing
4. Good public infrastructure I.e hospitals, local council, police stations
5. Fibre across the country
6. Synergy of the local councils with all federal and state parastatals.
If Ijaw students learn science in Ijaw language, and Kanuri students learn in their language... how will all the scientist/engineers in NIgeria ever have any conference? Automatically, communication will be broken.
@@JohnFekoloidLanguage is a barrier to learning in Africa. Tanzania teaches in Swahili. There is a strong link between language, history & culture which brings out originality. Once that lang/culture/history is lost, all is lost. China & India have been able to develop faster partly due to this. And, it's also a form of national security. Do you think if Nigerian music is in standard english that it would be appreciated like it is now. Popular science books & novels need to be translated to African languages. If Nigeria can prioritize education/research for all citizens below 18 for 18yrs plus we would soon become a super power. Only few people change the world with the other majority needing common sense bestowed via education to follow.
@@ase0137 There's nothing wrong with using languages to learn, write or do music. But in the counties you mentioned, it is their national language. Nigeria was never a country before British came. So we have no national language except the English that British gave us. There's no way, I will leave my Urhoro and start learning science in Yoruba. Science is already written in English with books and internet materials.
Any time people talk about teaching Nigerian sciences in local languages, they are just looking for how to permanently silence the minority tribes by using the bigger tribes language. If you refuse to learn English and learn your science, don't come and force Yoruba on me before I can learn science. Yoruba is your language but not mine. I rather prefer, we continue leaning in English which is none of us language.
As for music, Nigerians had music stars in the past when the country was better and $1 = N1.
Today we just have people who can't express themselves in English singing their local language, and trying to force their lack of education on all Nigerians. What's the effect? Higher crime rate, appalling exchange rate, cybercrime and Nigeria being infamous for online scams and slavery in Libya.
The ministry he talked about, the website is down :|
hahhaha let me check
Thank you Honorable Minister for the condolences and may you succeed in achieving the mandates assigned to you.
Seun is being very analytical and interrogative with his line of questioning, as it’s his poignant style to extract as much information and detail as possible within a limited amount of time.
The only Minister I believe and the interior minister. Only 2billion allocated to his ministry by an unserious govt.
From ejigbo Lagos Nigeria
Seun, you brought a big fish on your program, the people who are not politians but technocrat who can help transform our economy. Nigeria is sick ,those who are sitting in Abuja thinking all is well, all is not well o o. Tijani spoke well but let us give him 3 year to see whether he has followed his word with action.
egypte is building an entire city with 40 to 60b us dollars and we use 2bn us dollars to lay cables in nigeria, wow giant of africa
Technology to frustrate corruption nko?? If we no fit eradicate make we frustrate abi
Nigerians ministers are good in talking without nothing, because they have never been challenged by the Nigerian citizens.
How far can IT be developed in the absence of sustainable power?
Nigeria : has the nation ever invested in changing their currency
to 💵
The question here is where is the money going to come from
I was in Nigeria recently. I did not come across 5G ..What I experienced, compared to my visit last year , was dropped calls , poor Internet connection & my glo network going off . I was informed that it's the same problem with other networks.
Well MTN has been making the biggest noise about 5g. Though I use a 4G MTN router at home and it is quite stable. I only imagine 5G to be better. We use a wired service from another ISP at the office and that one is basically flawless. My other SIM networks are just as you said, dropping calls and cutting service randomly..
Glo doesnt have 5G. Change your sim
Seun talks more than his guests
On the contrary, Seun is being very analytical and interrogative with his line of questioning, as it’s poignant style to extract as much information and detail as possible within a limited amount of time.
Osun: we must be very careful about digital technology! You, journalists must hold government accountable to safeguard the people from scams, fraudsters and cheaters!!! jtsdrd, USA
Did you just say the Nigerian government must safeguard ppl from scam and fraudsters 😂😂
So Nigeria does not have a 5G. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This means South Africa is always ahead. Now they have also installed fibre wifi in many of SA townships.
To be honest, I feel sorry for the folks who believe the current APC misinformation. Before this government, Edo State and several other states in Nigeria had previously laid Fiber Cable. Please conduct your homework before listening to these folks who have come to spread misinformation. We all want Nigeria to succeed.
Who told you state governments lays fiber optics cable
@@Fido1010 Mr. man do your research and educate yourself. Edo State government signed an agreement with Geniserve Limited to connect all 18 Local Government areas with Fibre Optic Cable. You people keep listening to APC propaganda without verifying their claims. Don’t take my word do your findings by yourself.
Something wey dem take deceive na to loot your money. Which people want to go verify such. And is the internet working in all local government they laid...
Were you deaf when he said over 35000km has been laid already and we need over 90,000 km?
But the chief of staff wants to use 10 billion for software
That’s half what people steal daily from public funds in Nigeria.
80% of that money will end up back in Europe. Nigeria is been run by a criminal syndicate.
A goal of exporting talents does not make any sense to me.
Very Nigerians, bright as they are, know how to utilize their engineering
knowledge for any useful purpose while in Nigeria. Many of those who leave the country do well
because they find environments where their technical know-how can be put to use.
Rather than exporting talent, create an environment where those talents can be
usefully engaged.
Does Seun work for Tinubu?
There is no measurable goal in all he is listing. It’s all policy. Use the S M A R T acronym to design your goal so we can measure them to see if there is progress. The idea of training 3million people is great but design the University IT curriculum for Nigerian businesses. Wire up the University with Internet with the same ISP provider so that students can use same Student ID to access internet in multiple or all the Universities. Start the fibre optic in clusters from around Universities and speed out
One of the three intelligent and competent people in Tinubu government
😂 out of 1000
Ideas that only work on paper in Nigeria
Most Nigerians wold prefer clean and constant water, good roads and housing
Technology progess can pull this into Nigeria through funding and eliminating corruption, and transparency
You cannot eliminate corruption, because democracy and the whole system is corrupt, and you now have a leader who is a known drug dealer, a criminal, running the country.@@JennyAnya
Can i assume that constant electricity should be on your list as well?
@@Ray-fw9nc Nigeria sells its electricity to other countries
5G already exist, my iphone always switch to 5g
This guy is not a journalist anymore. He's just being inflammatory!
what is this one saying?
seun is just becoming a noisemaker. he has responded to you, you keep on stressing on and on
What effect does 5G have on human body???
A minister defending fraudulent operators lol
All these clowns being interviewed in channels shows channels has been compromised
He needs to interview with Rufai. Rufai is more tech oriented
Which Rufai... The animal scientist who turned journalist
@@extraclass650 Nothing is wrong with what you studied in school. What is better is your degree of sanity, not at varsity!
I honestly agree with this
@@thesolutionpeddler someone who knows nothing... Only people like you admires him
@@extraclass650😂😂😂
Could seun please take his nose out of the money of content produces. What has the government done to promote the industry. Feeling like he said anything nouvelle
It is pity that a young boy like dis guy has joined old evil criminals which tinubu is heading, Nigerians has gone final
This guy is a criminal. $2bn to wire Nigeria. God will punish you and thiefnubu
😂😂😂😂
Have you finished watching this 33 muinutes video uploaded just 20minutes ago before commenting?
$2bn is so insufficient for the whole Nigeria
You'll not listen or reason before you comment? Is he collecting the $2B? Is it the government or private sector that will build the cable infrastructure? Please let's understand basic business and economy.
@barnabasnanna6845 don't pay no attention to Robert's like the one that is used to say $2bn is too much. I work in one of the largest Tech companies in the US that actually do exactly what the minister is talking about, $2bn is nothing compared to the aim.
