INTRODUCTION
The world is fast becoming a global village and communication is a very essential tool for communication. Telecommunication is a leading light, the telecommunica-tions industry all over the world is growing very rapid as one innovation replaces another in a matter of weeks. A major development is the wireless telephone which comes in either fixed wireless telephone lines or the Global System of Mo-bile (GSM) communication is absolutely a major driver of any economy.
In Africa, mobile subscriber numbers have improved by over 1,000 per cent be-tween 1998 and 2003 to reach 51.8 million; mobile user numbers have long ex-ceeded those of fixed wired line users which stood at 25.1 million at the end of 2003. Mobile telephone has been critical in boosting access to telecommunica-tions in Africa and has significantly helped lift telecommunications users, mobile penetration had reached 6.2 per cent at the end of 2003. In contrast to 3 per cent for fixed line, the rise of mobile phone usage has been driven by a combination of factors, such as demand, sector reforms, the licensing of new competition and the emergence of major strategic investors, such as Vodacom, MTN, and Celtel (Blake 2004 and Moholi 2005).
Therefore Nigeria has made wonderful improvement in the last few years in tele-communications most importantly in the Global System. It was pointed out as not-ed by Okoruwa (2004) that Africa still lags far behind the more industrialized parts of the world in telephone penetration and Internet access, but that as demonstrat-ed by GSM, huge opportunities exist for Africa to leap frog the gulf, self-indulgent backing on the advances in cellular technology.
By 2002, mobile subscribers in Nigeria stood at 1.5 million (Nigerian Tribune, 2003) but by the end of 2003, MTN alone had 1,650,000 active subscribers on its network, Econet Nigeria (Vmobile) had subscriber base of over one million, new entrants Globalcom and M-Tel (owned by NITEL - Nigerian Telecommunications
According to Frank Aneke Nigeria is the fastest growing telecommunications mar-ket in Africa and third in the world behind China and Brazil which also lead to more movement of mobile in the country. As a virgin market experiencing rapid growth, Nigeria has become a favorite destination for international technology investors from South Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia and North America. Competitors are other mobile with low price. Some years ago industries experts predicted the growth of telecommunication and ICT in Africa, but never reckoned that Nigeria could grow exceedingly from teledensity figures of .04 lines per 100 inhabitants in year 2000, to teledensity figure of 42 lines per 100 inhabitants in October 2008.
The Nigeria Telecommunication market gained more than 11.3 million new cus-tomers in the first half of 2008, growing by 28 percent to reach 51, 7 million mobile users. Nearly 4 million customers were added in the first quarter of 2008, while an impressive 7.3 Million were added in the second of 2008.
Nigeria is obviously a major market in the West African sub-region with a popula-tion of over 100 million people. Nigeria remain African’s most densely inhabited nation and blessed with abundance of material resources and therefore has what it takes to attract attention of potential investor’s to this largely telecommunication market.
Presently, communications quality is low and ICT Penetration is still inadequate considering Nigeria’s size and population it is also important to build up the inter-nal linkage that will make up the national telecommunications networks.
