Nigeria supports Burkina Faso scheme to halve internet costs

Nigeria and Burkina Faso are laying the groundwork for a new digital connectivity partnership that could cut Burkina Faso’s internet costs by up to 50 percent. The idea was discussed during a visit by Nigerian ICT minister Bosun Tijani to his Burkina Faso counterpart Aminata Zerbo-Sabane in Ouagadougou. Central to the talks was Project Bridge, Nigeria’s flagship infrastructure initiative to expand access to faster, more affordable and resilient internet across the region.
