Nigeria is now home to the world’s longest underwater cable, measuring 45,000 kilometers.
In addition to connecting 32 other African nations, the deep-sea cable project will directly promote the continent’s economic growth.
“At the heart of everything we do at Bayobab is the 2Africa initiative, which aims to connect Africa to the world and the world to Africa in the end. We are excited to carry on providing services that will boost the digital economy in Africa, which is expanding quickly, and have a beneficial effect on growth all around the continent,” he stated.
Regarding the significance of the deep-sea cable landing, Josephine Sarouk, Managing Director of Bayobab Nigeria, expressed that her arrival will boost Nigeria’s digital economy by allowing room for a thriving ecosystem and providing digital services to millions of Nigerians in line with the government’s vision for a thriving digital economy.
“As part of our commitment to our customers, we are investing in 2Africa to strengthen networks and capacity in response to the increasing demand for digital services like e-learning, Fintech, IoT, and AI, which are revolutionizing customer engagement with services and driving up demand for more data. “This landing is additional evidence of our unwavering faith in the continent’s future,” the speaker remarked.
Many businesses, including Metro, China Mobile International, MTN Global Connect, Orange, Vodafone, Egypt Telecom, Saudi Telecom Company, and the West Indian Ocean Cable Company, are part of the consortium behind the 2Africa subsea cable. The deep-sea cable will significantly alter the connectivity situation in the area.
