The report, produced by SquirrelPR, examined how digital news media is performing across 13 African countries, providing insight into audience growth, influence and changing consumption habits.

A panel session titled Winning the Digital Attention War brought experts from media, banking and communications who agreed that the old model of chasing website traffic is under pressure from social media, creators and artificial intelligence.

The session, moderated by Ifeanyi Abraham, PR director, CIG Motors, comprised panellists including Múyiwa Mátuluko, chief executive officer, Techpoint Africa; Rasheed Bolarinwa, head of Brand Marketing and Communications, Polaris Bank; Damilola Bright-Ukwenga, PR and communications professional; and Olufemi Ajasa, online editor, Vanguard Newspaper.

Traffic no longer enough

Mátuluko said media companies should stop trying to be everything to everyone and instead build focused platforms for specific industries.

He said Techpoint is expanding into specialist brands such as finance, energy and agriculture, targeting engaged professional audiences rather than chasing mass numbers.

“We’re taking conversation away from traffic,” he said.

He added that advertisers now care more about credibility and access to the right audience than vanity metrics.

For him, a smaller but trusted niche audience can be more valuable than millions of casual visits.

Brands want conversion, not impressions

Bolarinwa said marketing budgets are now under greater review, with senior executives demanding measurable returns.

He said old benchmarks such as impressions and follower counts are losing importance.

“Nobody’s going to talk about that anymore, conversion, trust and influence.”

He added that brands are already shifting spending toward niche publishers, creators and platforms with stronger communities.

Using Polaris Bank’s digital product launches as an example, he said specialist tech media played a major role in reaching the right market.

Legacy media says journalism still wins

Ajasa defended established publishers, saying strong reporting, community presence and credibility are their biggest strengths.

He said Vanguard still invests in reporters across Nigeria and focuses on solving real audience problems through practical journalism.

He mentioned projects such as flood coverage and cost-of-living reports.

“What we do is journalism, and the fabric of journalism has not changed.”

Ajasa also pushed back against claims that legacy outlets depend on sensational headlines, saying digital operations now combine speed with verification.

“We have built a work system that solves the problem of speed and accuracy, without compromising quality.”

PR industry turns to creators

Bright-Ukwenga said brands now use creators and smaller influencers from the planning stage of campaigns, not as an afterthought.

She said many creators hold stronger trust with followers than larger celebrity influencers.

“The earlier brands begin to look in their direction, the better for that brand, because you would always be in conversations.”

She added that some brands now maintain private circles of trusted creators who can amplify campaigns in a more natural way.

AI changing search, teams and workflows

Artificial intelligence was one of the biggest themes of the session.

Mátuluko said publishers should not panic but adapt quickly.

“AI is not going to replace you. No, it’s basically the person using AI that will replace you.”

He revealed that Techpoint already uses an AI-powered reporter for routine updates, with human editors reviewing output before publication.

Ajasa said AI is also hurting referral traffic from search engines, forcing publishers to build direct audience relationships through newsletters, podcasts and first-party data.

“The search traffic is going down.”

Bolarinwa said AI can improve speed and automate tasks, but originality still matters.

“You can’t compare what I write to what AI will write.”

Warning against dependence on Big Tech

Several speakers warned African media businesses against over-reliance on platforms such as Google, X and TikTok.

Mátuluko said publishers must own direct relationships with audiences through email lists, events, reports, courses and communities.

“We have WhatsApp, we have a newsletter, we have podcasts, but I still want my own audience.”

Bolarinwa added that African companies should begin building stronger home-grown digital platforms.

What RANKED 2027 should track

Panel members at the launch of RANKED 2026 report urged the team to expand future editions to include the creator economy, partnership revenue, events, trust signals and verified analytics.

They also called for stronger measurement of global versus local audiences, warning that percentages alone can distort the scale of a publisher’s reach.

The report, released under the Speedtest Awards banner, highlights MTN’s superior performance in download and upload speeds, cementing its leadership in mobile broadband innovation and 5G deployment.

Key Performance Highlights (Q2 2024)

5G Rollout Driving Speed Revolution

MTN Nigeria launched its 5G network commercially in September 2022, covering major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Owerri, and Maiduguri.

The company reportedly invested over $120 million in infrastructure upgrades, spectrum acquisition, and rollout, enabling it to deliver next-generation connectivity to millions of users.

According to Ookla, both Nigeria and Ghana have tripled their median download speeds in just two years, a clear reflection of network modernization and fiber expansion across the sub-region.

Industry Significance

The recognition underscores the role of private sector innovation in driving Africa’s digital transformation.

For consumers, the performance leap means smoother streaming, online gaming, and video calls.
For businesses, it enhances cloud adoption, fintech transactions, and remote operations, critical enablers for a digital economy.

The Road Ahead

As Nigeria’s telecom sector continues to evolve, all eyes are on how competition; Airtel and Mafab will respond to MTN’s dominance in the 5G race. Is there possibility of Glo and 9mobile joining the race too?

The industry regulator – Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and industry stakeholders are also expected to prioritize spectrum availability and rural broadband coverage to sustain this momentum.

The outage, which originated from AWS’s US-EAST-1 region, began in the early hours of Monday and quickly spread beyond the United States, affecting Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

According to AWS’s own status dashboard, multiple services are currently “impacted” due to “increased error rates and latencies,” with engineers “actively engaged and working to both mitigate the issue and understand root cause.”

For users, the impact has been immediate and widespread. Alexa devices have gone silent, unable to respond to voice commands or execute daily routines like alarms and reminders. 

Developers and businesses using AWS’s cloud network, from Airtable to Perplexity AI and the McDonald’s app, have also been hit. Even high-traffic entertainment platforms like Fortnite, Roblox, and Rainbow Six Siege are offline.

Downdetector, a platform that tracks service disruptions, has logged over 2,000 incident reports in the U.S. alone since the outage began. On Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), frustrated users across time zones have shared screenshots of failed connections and frozen dashboards.

“Perplexity is down right now,” confirmed Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, in a post on X. “The root cause is an AWS issue. We’re working on resolving it.”

Amazon, in its latest public update at 3:51 a.m. ET, noted that it would provide further information every 45 minutes “or sooner if we have additional information to share.” However, at the time of writing, there is still no estimated timeline for full restoration.

This isn’t the first time AWS’s US-EAST-1 region has been the source of widespread disruption. Similar outages in December 2021, November 2020, and June 2023 took down high-profile platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Slack, Zoom, and Twitch. 

Each incident revealed an issue across the tech industry, that a large portion of the global internet depends heavily on a single cloud provider’s regional infrastructure.

The current outage appears to have hit both consumer-facing apps and backend systems, including AWS’s own Support Center and Support API, which organisations rely on for case creation and troubleshooting.

While AWS has reiterated that engineers are investigating the problem, the lack of transparency about the specific cause of the outage is driving industry-wide anxiety. Many are now revisiting familiar cases of how much centralisation is too much when the internet’s backbone depends on just a handful of companies.

For now, millions of users are in a holding pattern, waiting, refreshing, and hoping their devices come back online soon.

Scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, the event promises to be a landmark gathering for Nigeria’s digital ecosystem.

With the theme: “Building Nigeria’s Digital Future: The Internet as a Catalyst for Growth,” Tech Convergence 2.0 will bring together leading voices across government, industry, academia, civil society, and the private sector to deliberate on strategies that will position Nigeria as a leading digital powerhouse in Africa and beyond.

The internet continues to transform Nigeria’s economy, contributing to the expansion of e-commerce, fintech, education technology, creative industries, and digital services.

According to recent reports, Nigeria’s digital economy contributes over 18% to the national GDP, making it a critical driver of growth and innovation.

Speaking ahead of the conference, Mr. Adesola Akinsanya, NiRA President, underscored the importance of securing Nigeria’s online identity: “Nigeria’s digital economy is a powerhouse, but to sustain its momentum, we must fortify our local internet infrastructure and identity. That is the essence of Tech Convergence uniting stakeholders to safeguard our digital sovereignty through the .ng domain and to unlock the full potential of a connected Nigeria.”

He added that the internet is no longer just an enabler but the engine of digital transformation, with the .ng domain as a symbol of ownership, trust, and sovereignty in Nigeria’s online space.

The Event Chairman, Mr. Seun Kehinde, highlighted the stakeholder-centric design of the conference: “Tech Convergence is more than just an event it is a collaborative platform where ideas are exchanged, partnerships are built, and solutions are crafted. As stakeholders, we share a collective responsibility to ensure the internet continues to drive inclusive growth and innovation in Nigeria.”

The inaugural edition in 2024, held in Lagos, drew more than 400 participants and 25 speakers from across the tech ecosystem. Discussions explored the internet’s role in bridging the gap between the creative sector and digital content. Building on this success, Tech Convergence 2.0 will expand its focus to cover policy, infrastructure, cybersecurity, local content, and emerging technologies.

NiRA has continued to invest in strengthening Nigeria’s internet infrastructure to support innovation and security. Initiatives such as: WHOIS Privacy Redaction – ensuring privacy and protection for registrants of the .ng domain; DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) – adding a crucial layer of protection against cyber threats and Capacity Development via the .ng Academy – training thousands of Nigerians on digital skills, domain entrepreneurship and internet governance.

According to NiRA’s Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Seyi Onasanya: “Our commitment goes beyond managing the .ng domain. We are laying the groundwork for a resilient internet ecosystem that can support startups, SMEs, public institutions and innovators who will shape Nigeria’s digital future.”

What to Expect at Tech Convergence 2.0

This year’s edition will feature:

• Keynote Addresses from top government officials, industry leaders, and international experts.
• Panel Discussions covering digital sovereignty, AI and emerging tech, internet governance, cybersecurity, and the role of domains in business growth.
• Startup Showcase spotlighting Nigerian innovators leveraging the internet to disrupt industries.
• Networking Sessions designed to connect stakeholders and foster partnerships.
• Hybrid Access – ensuring both in-person and virtual participants can fully engage.

Today, the nation’s appetite for data has exploded to a record 142.16 million active internet subscriptions, with 141.66 million of them on mobile devices.

Mobile subscriptions now stand at 169 million, while broadband penetration continues to surge, pushing the telecoms sector’s contribution to GDP beyond 14% and valuing it at approximately $10.8 billion.

Meanwhile, MTN Nigeria has posted an impressive financial performance for the first half of 2025, buoyed by strategic tariff adjustments, operational cost savings, and a favourable foreign exchange (FX) environment.

Speaking on the results during an interview on ChannelsTV monitored by Techeconomy, Modupe Kadri, chief financial officer of MTN Nigeria, highlighted the critical role that policy stability and efficiency measures have played in delivering growth.

Revenue Growth and FX Stability

For Q2 2025, MTN Nigeria reported revenue of ₦1.3 trillion and a pre-tax profit of ₦419.61 billion.

The telco also recorded a net foreign exchange gain of ₦295 million, a sharp turnaround from the ₦1 trillion FX loss reported in the same period last year.

This positive shift has been attributed to government-led foreign exchange reforms, increased oil production, and interventions that have stabilised the naira.

Kadri stressed that exchange rate stability is essential for long-term investment planning, particularly given the sector’s heavy reliance on imported infrastructure. “When policies are stable, we can plan, invest, and improve connectivity for Nigerians,” he said.

Beyond Tariff Increases: Efficiency and Cost Management

While recent tariff adjustments have supported revenue growth, Kadri explained that MTN’s rebound is also the result of a five-pronged strategy implemented in 2024.

This included reducing FX exposure by paying off letters of credit (LCs) and renegotiating tower contracts to cut operating expenses. The company has also streamlined operations to boost cost efficiency, further enhancing profitability.

Data Consumption Driving Sector Momentum

Kadri noted that demand for data continues to rise sharply, often surpassing voice services. In some cases, he joked, consumers would “choose to buy data rather than food.”

The shift towards internet-based calls through platforms like WhatsApp has not hurt the company’s bottom line; rather, it aligns with MTN’s positioning as a connectivity provider. “Whether it’s voice or data, our business is enabling connections,” he said.

However, he encouraged subscribers to manage their data usage more consciously, citing auto-download settings, background app activity, and navigation apps as hidden data drains. “It’s not the provider sucking your data,” he clarified, referencing regulator-led billing integrity studies that confirmed accurate charging.

Innovation Through Network-as-a-Service and MVNO Partnerships

MTN is also embracing new business models to expand industry capacity. Through its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, other operators, such as T2 (formerly 9mobile), can roam on MTN’s infrastructure while retaining their subscriber relationships.

This model, Kadri explained, promotes efficient use of scarce network resources and lowers barriers for new entrants.

In addition, MTN recently signed its first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), which will soon go live. These collaborations, he said, align with the company’s vision to “help the industry” and deliver better services to Nigerians.

Outlook: Exiting Negative Equity

MTN Nigeria expects to maintain its growth trajectory into the second half of 2025, with the recovery that began in Q3 2024 gaining momentum.

The company projects it will exit its negative equity position this quarter, marking a significant milestone in its turnaround.

With its share price already up over 50% year-to-date, MTN’s strategic focus on efficiency, innovation, and policy alignment positions it, and the broader telecom sector, as a key driver of Nigeria’s economic health.

The mission, Crew-11, is more than just a routine flight to the International Space Station (ISS). It carries the World Seeds Payload, a collaborative agricultural science experiment led by Jaguar Space in partnership with 11 nations, including Nigeria.

Indigenous Crops Take Flight

Nigeria’s contribution to this pioneering mission? A carefully curated selection of six indigenous crop seeds:

• Okra
• Cowpea
• Guinea corn (sorghum)
• Amaranth
• Maize
• Melon

Chosen for their nutritional value, cultural heritage, and agricultural resilience, these seeds are headed to space for one extraordinary reason: to be studied under microgravity conditions aboard the ISS.

The goal? To understand how spaceflight affects seed structure, viability, and growth potential, critical knowledge in the quest for climate-smart agriculture, global food security, and possibly, farming in space.

A Mission Years in the Making

At the heart of Nigeria’s role in this mission is Olayinka Fagbemiro, Assistant Director of NASRDA’s International Cooperation & Linkages Department, and Nigeria’s Project Lead for the initiative.

From the painstaking seed selection to international logistics and agency representation, Fagbemiro has been instrumental in steering Nigeria’s involvement, from vision to launch pad.

The seeds made their way to the United States after NASRDA and Jaguar Space formalized their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), further cementing Nigeria’s place in global scientific dialogue.

Nigeria’s First Biological Payload in Space

This mission marks a historic first for NASRDA: the first time a biological payload from Nigeria will fly on a crewed NASA mission to the ISS. But beyond headlines, it validates years of research by NASRDA’s Department of Physical and Life Sciences, which has long studied similar crops in simulated gravity environments here on Earth.

Now, those theories are headed for real-world testing, 250 miles above ground.

Science Rooted in Culture, Growing in Space

The World Seeds Payload is not just a technical experiment, it’s a symbol of inclusive, culturally grounded space science.

It underscores how emerging space nations like Nigeria can shape humanity’s future in space, using tools and knowledge rooted in local heritage.

As NASRDA’s seeds float in microgravity alongside cutting-edge global experiments, they carry with them the dreams of a continent, where tradition meets innovation, and where African crops may one day feed interplanetary missions.
