Good news for Nigerians.
Google has announced that, in its bid to make the internet more easily accessible to Nigerians, it is launching Google Station for Nigeria by end of 2019.

Google Nigeria Country Director Juliet Ehimuan Chiazor said, “Google Station will be rolling out in 200 locations in five cities across Nigeria by the end of 2019, bringing Wi-Fi to millions of people. Sites include markets, transport hubs, shopping malls, universities, and more. Nigeria is the fifth country to get Google Station, after India, Indonesia, Thailand and Mexico.”
