The Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) announced the milestone, noting the rapid growth from 5–10Mbps in 2008 to 900Gbps in 2024, culminating in 1Tbps in March 2025.


IXPN CEO Muhammed Rudman attributed the progress to expanded local data centers, increased interconnectivity, and partnerships with global tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and TikTok.


Rudman said the achievement boosts internet speed, reduces costs, and saves Nigeria $40 million annually by retaining data traffic locally, improving digital access for millions, and cutting reliance on foreign bandwidth.
