Starlink's Ground Stations Propel Connectivity
Starlink, Elon Musk's groundbreaking internet initiative, is on a mission to enhance connectivity in Nigeria by establishing ground stations across the nation. With facilities planned in key locations including Okun Ajah, Lagos State, Sagamu in Ogun State, and Port Harcourt in Rivers State, Starlink aims to revolutionize access to reliable internet services.
Strategic Expansion in Nigeria
The project is being facilitated through a partnership with Equinix, a global leader in data center solutions, further solidifying its commitment to the region. With approximately 29,000 acres of land acquired for this ambitious initiative, the groundwork has already been laid in Lagos State, with completion expected by Q4 2024 for the first station.
