With continuous investment and reforms in its telecom sector, Nigeria has emerged as the largest telecom market in Africa. Among others, factors such as telecom market liberalization along with the fierce competition among the private telecom operators has been bringing about substantial benefits to subscribers in terms of lower tariffs and enhanced choice. Driven by this, the Nigerian telecom market revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during 2009-2012, says our latest research report "Nigeria Telecom Sector Analysis".
