The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) plans to launch a national network coverage map by the end of 2025 to improve consumer experience.

The initiative, announced recently by NCC Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director Aminu Maida, aims to provide real-time visibility into the quality and availability of telecommunications services across Nigeria. With this map, consumers will be able to make informed choices about their operators and services based on the network coverage available in their area.

“So this will not be simulation data, but real performance data, which will show you which is the best network in your area. So you will no longer need to ask the man or woman next to you for a recommendation on the best network, you will be able to see the data directly on the NCC website,” said Maida.

The map will provide an overview of the country’s telecommunications infrastructure. It should allow consumers to access detailed information on signal quality, expected connection speeds and operator-specific coverage areas.
