Di Nigerian goment don open big opportunity for international tech investors, wey include direct presidential intervention and many economic waivers for hardware companies wey go bring dia manufacturing hub come Nigeria before November 2026, di Board Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Chief Idris Olorunnimbe, don talk.

Wey e dey show di goment total commitment to support these new factories, Olorunnimbe talk say: "Whatever e go take to make di plant stand, we go pursue am together, because every factory wey rise for Nigeria dey grow our economy, dey employ our young people, and dey bring di price of phone down to level wey ordinary Nigerian fit afford."

Di offer na to make foreign direct investment happen quick-quick and create lasting jobs for Nigeria plenty youth population.

Di economic reason wey dey back dis regulatory ultimatum na both practical and urgent. For now, di Nigerian telecommunications ecosystem dey very vulnerable to external economic shocks, as foreign-exchange wahala and import duties dey always make genuine, formal devices too expensive for ordinary citizens.

By making di supply chain dey local, di NCC want to tie device pricing to local currency, so dat di price wahala wey dey follow US Dollar go reduce.

Olorunnimbe talk say di administration dey ready to use massive executive support, as dem dey see connectivity infrastructure as di main engine of President Tinubu im Renewed Hope agenda, wey treat "connectivity as productive infrastructure for di whole economy, not luxury for small people."

Drawing inspiration from classic free education philosophies, Olorunnimbe don talk before say to ask child to buy data to look at textbook na di modern version of charging school fees at di gate of public school.
