Elon Musk’s satellite‑internet service reopens new user registrations in Lagos, Abuja.
Starlink, SpaceX’s low-earth orbit internet service, has announced the resumption of new customer sign-ups across Nigeria. Lagos and Abuja are prioritized due to high demand, with national roll‑out plans slated.
Subscriptions paused earlier this year amidst regulatory review, but now the service is operating under a renewed framework. Potential users will gain access to high-speed, low-latency broadband, benefiting rural and urban communities alike—especially where traditional infrastructure lags.
Industry observers say Starlink’s return could ignite competition, pushing Nigerian ISPs to improve fiber and wireless offerings. Users can expect installs within days of registration, as deployment teams mobilize nationwide.
SpaceX highlighted that this aligns with their mission to bridge the global digital divide—a significant milestone for Nigeria's connectivity landscape.
