The latest statistics released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has revealed the total number of active data internet users.
These are users across the networks of all internet service providers utilising different technologies like GSM, Fixed Wired, Wireless and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
The total number of active data internet users reached 142,161,409 as at January 2025, with GSM technology maintaining the market lead with 141,655,587, followed by Wireless technology with 285,702 and VoIP with 206,067.
The statistics, obtained from the NCC’s official website, also showed that only 14,053 persons subscribed to Fixed-Wired technology for their internet usage as of January 2025, the lowest number among the other listed technologies currently being subscribed to by data internet subscribers in Nigeria.
The NCC numbers however showed that no data internet subscriber currently subscribes to the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, which used to be highly subscribed, an indication that new technologies have long overtaken it.
