The 45,000-kilometer-long 2Africa subsea cable from Meta has reached the Nigerian states of Lagos and Akwa Ibom.

In addition to connecting 32 other African nations, the deep-sea cable project will directly promote the continent’s economic growth.

Additionally, it will promote the expansion of 4G and 5G and raise the number of individuals and enterprises across the continent who have access to broadband.

According to the Guardian Nigeria, Bayobab, a pan-African provider of digital connection solutions, collaborated with MTN Opco to install a 45,000-kilometer undersea cable in the Mopo-Onibeju Lekki neighborhood of Lagos. The Nigerian Equinix Company, MainOne, is in charge of the project’s Akwa Ibom phase, which is situated in Ibeno in the state of Akwa Ibom, south of Nigeria.

According to CEO Frédéric Schepens, there have been six landings in five nations, with this one being the fourth. These include South Africa and three locations in West Africa: Ghana, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire. He added that, on an equal and fair basis, Nigerian service providers will have access to top-notch capacity in carrier-neutral data centers or open-access cable landing stations.
