A statement issued by Aisha Bantam, Assistant General Manager, Corporate Affairs, NIGCOMSAT, said the strategic collaboration aims to revolutionise access to reliable and affordable internet services in underserved communities across the country.

The agreement, which was signed on Thursday, June 27, 2024, was part of NIGCOMSAT’s continued commitment to enhancing wider coverage throughout Nigeria and beyond.

Under the terms of the agreement, NIGCOMSAT, Nigeria’s leading provider of satellite communication infrastructure, and Hotspot will deploy cutting-edge satellite technology and innovative connectivity solutions to connect remote and rural areas that have traditionally lacked access to internet connectivity.

By combining NIGCOMSAT’s extensive satellite infrastructure and Hotspot’s expertise in rural connectivity, this partnership will empower communities to bridge the digital divide and unlock new opportunities for socioeconomic development, the statement said.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NIGCOMSAT Limited, Mrs. Jane Nkechi Egerton-Idehen, during the signing ceremony, said: “At NIGCOMSAT, we are committed to leveraging our technological capabilities to drive digital transformation and improve the lives of Nigerians, especially those in underserved regions.

“This collaboration with Hotspot highlights our unwavering dedication to connect the unconnected and ensure that no community is left behind in the digital age.”

For his part, Hotspot’s Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Morenikeji Aniye, in his remarks on the partnership, said: “We are thrilled to work alongside NIGCOMSAT in this endeavour. At Hotspot connecting the millions of unconnected persons remains a cardinal objective of our mission.

 

“By combining our expertise and resources, we will be able to deploy innovative solutions that bring reliable and affordable internet access to rural communities, empowering them to participate fully in the digital economy and access essential services.”

 

While NIGCOMSAT Ltd is a communication satellite service provider with coverage over African countries and parts of Europe and Asia, Hotspot Network Limited is a one-shop for all networking and telecommunications needs.

The rural connectivity project is also in partnership with Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF). The project is expected to deliver rural connectivity on the NigComSat-1R Ka-Band platform. So far, Hotspot has proposed targeting a sizable number of rural communities across Nigeria with the service, the statement said.

The joint initiative between NIGCOMSAT and Hotspot will commence immediately, with plans to roll out the first phase of the project in select rural areas within the next six months.

This collaboration underscores NIGCOMSAT’s commitment to bridging the digital divide and positioning Nigeria as a leader in the deployment of cutting-edge satellite communication technologies for the benefit of its citizens, the statement added.
