Google just launched a new network called

The free Wi-Fi hotspots in Nigeria, is being made possible by the partnership between Alphabet Inc and a Nigerian fiber cable network provider, 21st Century. The free Wi-Fi Hotspots will be made available in Lagos, Kaduna, Rivers state, Oyo state, Enugu and Abuja.
Google Station, will make the Wifi Hotspot available to over 10 million Nigerians currently residing in the nation. According to Google Vice President, Anjali Joshi, “Google is doing this because Internet has the potential to transform Africa completely”. He also added that, “They are rolling out the service in Lagos but the plan is to quickly expand to other locations”.
