Records Poor Internet Affordability, e-Infrastructure, e-Security, e-GovernmentThe digitisation speed of the country has received a huge blow as Nigeria was ranked low in the latest Digital Quality of Life Index (DQL), dropping to 88th position in the world, two places downward compared to last year’s ranking.

The Digital Quality of Life Index is an annual study that ranks 121 countries by their digital well being based on five core pillars of Internet quality, Internet affordability, e-security, e-infrastructure, and e-government.

Surfshark’s Spokeswoman, Gabriele Racaityte-Krasauske, said: “In many nations, ‘digital quality of life’ has merged into the broader concept of overall ‘quality of life’. There’s no other way to look at it now that so many daily activities, including work, education, and leisure are done online.

Compared to South Africa, Nigeria’s mobile Internet is 31 per cent slower, while fixed broadband is 64 per cent slower. Since last year, mobile Internet speed in Nigeria has improved by 87 per cent, while fixed broadband speed has grown by 33 per cent.
