According to PUNCH, Nigerians and other telecommunications users in Nigeria spent N3.33 trillion on calls, internet, SMS, and other telecom services in 2022, according to the Nigerian Communications Commission.
Telcos generated N3.33 trillion in total revenue last year. This was announced by the NCC in its recently released ‘2022 Subscriber/Network Data Annual Report.’
According to the commission, the overall number of active subscribers climbed from 195,463,898 subscriptions in 2021 to 222,571,568 active voice subscriptions in December 2022, representing a 13.86% year-on-year growth.
It commented on the growth, saying, “The increase in the Operators’ subscriber base was attributed to a number of reasons, subscriber loyalty, promotions, seasonal effects, aggressive consumer acquisition drive, and competitive product offerings across all networks.”
It was found that the increase in active subscribers has a beneficial influence on other derived telecom metrics such as teledensity, Internet penetration, and broadband penetration.
In 2022, data use is expected to continue to rise. It climbed by 46.77 percent to 518,381.78TB by the end of the year.
According to the NCC, “there was an increase in the volume of data consumed at the year-end December 2022 when compared to the year-end December 2021.”
“The total volume of data consumed by subscribers increased to 518,381.78TB in December 2022 from 353,118.89TB in December 2021.” This indicates a 46.77 percent increase in data usage during the time.”
