The removal of Subscriber Identification Modules (SIMs) that are not linked to verifiable National Identification Numbers (NINs) and the rectification of a major discrepancy by a Mobile Network Operator explain the significant drop in Nigeria's telecoms subscriber base.
From September 2023, teledensity is calculated based on Nigerian Population Commission's projected population figure of 216 million.
