Nigeria’s leading e-commerce giant, Konga, has partnered with Starlink to provide internet services across the country.

This initiative became imperative to bridge Nigeria’s digital divide by offering reliable, high-speed internet connectivity to individuals and businesses in areas with limited or no terrestrial internet coverage.

Konga in a statement said the move would aid the promotion of cutting-edge satellite Internet service to its customers.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Konga, Nnamdi Ekeh, “At Konga, we are committed to empowering Nigerians by providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in the digital age.

“The Starlink Week at Konga is an opportunity for individuals and businesses to own a kit for themselves; it is also a testament to our unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional value and improving the lives of Nigerians.”

During the Starlink Week campaign, Konga disclosed that it would reduce the prices of Starlink kits and accessories to make them more affordable for customers and offer free nationwide delivery in major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

Starlink, launched in January 2023, has swiftly become Nigeria’s third-largest internet service provider, boasting 23,897 subscribers by the end of 2023, according to data from the Nigeria Communications Commission.
