The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has listed the country’s top ten states with the most internet users.
A Sunday check on the NBS database revealed that internet subscribers stood at 163.8 million as of December 2023.
It added that, as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, data on internet usage across the country reveals fascinating insights into which states are leading in digital connectivity.
This figure means that internet users in the country have witnessed significant growth as more citizens have gained access to the internet despite the hardship orchestrated by the removal of subsidy and the floating of naira, among others.
It was reported that there were about 154.8 million internet users last year, a 1.35 percent increase from the previous year (2021), when the number stood at 141.9 million.
The bureau said the upward movement marked a 9.07 per cent growth in internet subscribers for the sector in the period reviewed.
“On a quarter-on-quarter basis, this grew by 1.35 per cent,” NBS added.
