The Federal Government through the National Bureau of Statistics has listed the top ten states with the most internet users in the country.

On Sunday, a check of the NBS database revealed that the number of internet subscribers stood at 163.8 million as of December 2023.

It added that as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, data on internet usage across the country reveals fascinating insights into which states are leading in digital connectivity.

This figure means that internet users in the country have witnessed significant growth as more citizens have gained access to the internet despite the hardship orchestrated by the removal of subsidy and floating of naira, among others.
