CHALLENGES
OF INTERNET GROWTH IN NIGERIA
Nigeria lack behind in Internet
growth because of the following reasons:
Ø
Expensive Bandwidth: Bandwidth is a measure of data transfer rate or the amount of data that
can pass through network interfaces over a specific period of time. In
developing countries like Nigeria, bandwidth is very expensive and is not affordable
by a common man.
Ø
Internet Fraud: This is generally referred to
any type of fraud that uses one or more online services such as e-mail, www to
conduct fraudulent transaction. It is commonly referred to ad Yahoo! Yahoo in
Nigeria.
Ø
Inadequate Network
Infrastructure:
Telecommunications infrastructure do not cover a significant percentage of the
country, such infrastructure could be used to provide internet access.
Ø
Poor Internet Service Delivery: The services provided by Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) are also not up to scratch and this can be attributed
to a lack of customer orientation and training of personnel.
Ø
Low
Level of Awareness: Most people are unaware of this level of availability of
Internet Service in our environment. The providers should do much more to
inform the public and this will allow people to take advantage of the enormous
potentials present.
