We developed the National Broadband Plan 2020-2030 which targets a 90 percent penetration rate in terms of population and a 70 percent rate in terms of our total land mass within the next two years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also targets a speed of 25mbps for urban areas while a 10mbps speed is targeted for rural areas. So far, we have been able to achieve a 10 percent increase just within a year which brings the success rate to 45 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBroadband is the backbone of a digital economy as it has been identified by global experts that a 10% increase in Broadband penetration will increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of an economy by 1.6 to 1.8 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pantami further said that the digital economy sector remains the fastest growing sector with the highest contribution to Nigeria\u2019s GDP in the present administration.<\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian national broadband plan 2020-2025 signed by\u00a0Buhari in March 2020 shows that \u201cthe new Broadband Plan is designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria with effective coverage available to at least 90% of the population by 2025 at a price not more than N390 per 1GB of data\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of communications and digital economy, Isa Pantami has stated that the federal government aims to provide 90 percent increase in broadband penetration to most parts of the country.
