As the Nigerian economy goes into recession and the rate of inflation rising, the Nigerian telecommunications sector could be used to return the economy to its former state and regain its lost glory as the largest economy in Africa only if we could tapped into the unlimited resources that the
Nigerian telecommunications industry has to offer.
The telecommunications industry contributed immensely to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of the
nation in the past and could still be used to recover the economy from its present recession. Now, Nigeria has been tagged as one the leading nations in
telecommunications infrastructural development. With the big players in
the industry, like MTN, Airtel, Globacom, Etisalat, the sky is the limit
for voice and data communications in the country.
The
telecommunications industry in Nigeria has experienced a steady
evolution from analog 2G networks to the more sophisticated digital 3G
& 4G networks. Researches are currently ongoing into what the future
holds. The birth of the 5G networks! It would be the major driving
force behind Internet of Things (IoTs) when it is fully operational.
Internet of Things (IoTs) simply refers to a technological advancement
where objects like cars, houses e.t.c possess network as well as human.
With Internet of Things (IoTs) , the impossible will become possible.
For instance, the world is already talking about self driven cars. This
can only be achieved with Internet of Things (IoTs) fully in place.
Internet
of Things (IoTs) would definitely bring about a revolution in the
telecoms industry and the telecommunications companies in Nigeria are
not relenting on their efforts to meet up with modern technological
trends in the world.
The contribution of telecommunications to
improving socio-economic and political development in Nigeria cannot be
over emphasized. Telecommunications has definitely made us a better
country and we the citizens, a better people!
