In Nigeria there is an increased smartphone penetration with an estimated 43.7 million users by 2019 and beyond as mobile carriers encourage uptake and consumption of mobile data. Local consumers will begin to take advantage of “mobile-first” strategies adopted by the private sector, as services such as banking and retail are made available to smartphone users.
