Tizeti partners Facebook to bring Nigerians affordable internet service The Express Wi-fi plans are affordable and range from N50 for 100MB to N2,000 for 10GB.

Tizeti today, November 8, announced a partnership to expand Express Wi-Fi by Facebook in Nigeria, with plans to roll out hundreds of hotspots over the coming months.

Facebook in 2016 launched the service in partnership with Nigerian ISP Coollink, starting with Lagos.

Announced at AfricaCom 2017, this initiative supports Facebook’s and Tizeti’s shared goal of connecting more people to the internet in a cost-efficient way.

A fast and affordable public Wi-Fi hotspot service, Express Wi-Fi in Nigeria is focused in areas where people gather and work, including markets, cafes and public outdoor spaces.
