FiberOne Broadband’s Chief Executive Officer, Lanre Ore, is making headlines following his appearance at GITEX Africa in Marrakech, Morocco, where he delivered a compelling message on the future of digital connectivity in Africa.
Speaking during a high-level panel session titled “Critical International Partnerships for Fibre Deployment,” Ore stressed that Africa’s ambition for a thriving digital economy hinges on strategic collaboration and cross-border infrastructure development. His remarks, which were featured in Punch Newspaper, spotlighted the urgency of building inclusive fibre networks to bridge the digital divide across the continent.
Africa’s digital growth story will stall without a strong fibre-optic backbone,” Ore said. “No single entity, government or private, can build this future alone. We need alignment, investment, and shared vision across borders.
As Nigeria continues its drive toward 70% internet penetration, Ore pointed to the role of companies like FiberOne in supporting national efforts while pushing for wider regional partnerships that can unlock long-term impact. With over 33,000 subscribers and growing, FiberOne has become a key player in reshaping Nigeria’s broadband landscape since its inception in 2017.
Ore also acknowledged recent policy and infrastructure moves by the Nigerian government, including a $2 billion fibre expansion project and the launch of the Nigerian Broadband Alliance Network. Still, he emphasized the importance of private sector leadership in delivering last-mile connectivity and digital empowerment.
We see our work not just as providing internet, but enabling access to education, innovation, and economic opportunity, Ore noted. Fibre infrastructure is not a premium service, it’s foundational to Africa’s digital future.
His statements at GITEX Africa reflect FiberOne’s ongoing commitment to transforming connectivity into inclusion and to shaping the policies, partnerships, and platforms that will drive Africa’s digital transformation.
