The National Universities Commission through its Executive Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie in a workshop for Nigerian African Centres of Excellence on Monday in Abuja has directed all universities in the country to subscribe to the broadband connectivity platform offered by the Nigerian Research and Education Network.
According to him, the directive became imperative due to the high wage bill incurred on Internet broadband by universities. On the average, Nigerian universities spent N60m for 155mbps (mega bytes) of bandwidth when NgREN offered the same service at less than N26m.
Okojie said, “We have recommended that, henceforth, every university in Nigeria must participate in the NgREN scheme.
