Elon Musk’s Starlink is expanding its presence in Nigeria by building ground stations in Lagos, Ogun, and Rivers states to enhance internet connectivity.
The company has acquired approximately 29,000 acres of land in these states to establish the facilities, which will be constructed in partnership with Equinix, a leading data center solutions provider.
The ground stations will be located in Okun Ajah (Lagos), Sagamu (Ogun), and Port Harcourt (Rivers), strategically positioned to improve internet access in the region.
Construction has begun in Lagos and is expected to be completed by Q4 2024, with the other locations projected to be ready in 2025.
This significant investment underscores Starlink’s commitment to strengthening its global network and improving internet access in Nigeria.
