Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT) has reportedly struck a multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb to deliver LEO satellite services across Nigeria.

According to Space in Africa, NIGCOMSAT will leverage OneWeb’s network to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity solutions for various sectors, including government services, businesses, and rural communities. No financial details were disclosed.

NIGCOMSAT managing director Jane Egerton-Idehen said the OneWeb partnership will enhance nationwide remote communications, mobile connectivity, and offshore operations, as well as fill in coverage gaps in underserved and unserved areas across Nigeria.

“This partnership marks a major milestone for NIGCOMSAT, allowing us to bridge Nigeria’s digital divide with OneWeb’s advanced LEO satellite technology,” she said in a statement. “Together, we will deliver scalable and reliable connectivity solutions to drive growth across government services, businesses, and communities nationwide.”

Egerton-Idehen also said Eutelsat and NIGCOMSAT aim to combine resources to “foster innovation, accelerate digital transformation, and expand connectivity opportunities within Nigeria and beyond,” the report said.
