Starlink’s parent company, SpaceX, said on Twitter on Tuesday that the service is now available for usage in the nation.
The tweet stated that Nigeria was the first country in Africa to acquire service from Starlink.
Customers were also informed by the business via its website that a 30-day trial of the item would be available.
