The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is proposing a framework that could allow millions of students across Nigeria to access approved educational websites and digital learning platforms without incurring data charges, in what could become one of the country’s most far-reaching digital inclusion initiatives.
Under the proposal by the telecoms regulator, students would be able to access selected educational platforms, digital libraries and online learning resources free of charge, eliminating one of the biggest barriers to online education: the cost of internet access.
