The Telecommunications industry in Nigeria is enjoying a massive boom.MTN Nigeria Limited, Etisalat Nigeria, Zain Nigeria, Globacom Limited, Starcomms, Multilinks-Telkom, Visafone and Zoom are really enjoying great returns on investment. Only a decade of mobile telephony has witnessed tremendous and profitable patronage by Nigerians. Subscribers are in Hundreds of Millions, thus making The Nigerian Telecommunications industry the fastest growing in Africa.

The various telecommunications companies are inundating the market with various innovative products and services almost on a daily basis. All in an effort to impress the public and get their patronage.It is a great development since it has afforded the people an opportunity to communicate faster and conveniently in carrying out their daily activities.A lot still needs to be done.

The fact is most Nigerians are yet to enjoy the services of mobile telephony.This is due to the fact that the operators are yet to extend their facilities and infrastructure to cover most of the country despite having spent ten years in the country.The BTS Sites are not evenly distributed in the country thus cutting off so many people from the system.This has resulted in several cases of drop calls ,busy network and other network issues.
