Overcoming Technical & Infrastructural Challenges For Mobile Research in Africa
Africa is indeed rising but this has not always been the case.On the 13th of May 2000, an international current affairs magazine, The Economist, had on its cover page a portrait of the African continent, within it was the image of an armed guerrilla fighter; its caption read: “The Hopeless Continent”.
Within the pages of that edition, the prognosis on Africa encapsulated the prevailing beliefs held by the majority of those living outside African borders, and by those that considered themselves ‘trapped’ within it. Africa – a starving, poor, disease ridden, fractured, war-torn, corrupt, dying mass of humanity … a former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, had described Africa as a “scar on the conscience of the world”.
Fast forward a decade; December 3rd 2011, The Economist magazine caused quite a stir when it came out with a cover titled ‘Africa Rising’ together with an illustration of a boy flying a rainbow-coloured kite the shape of the continent.
Within its pages the magazine paints a scenario of dynamism, resilient entrepreneurial activity, fledging…yet growing economies, nascent…yet stabilizing democracies, a population getting healthier and more educated, an expanding middle class signifying a potential to even out the distribution of wealth.
An Africa, that is “getting its act together”. 54 countries of different ethnicity, culture, language and different levels of development, home to 1.1bn people, the second fastest growing regional economy (second to Asia) and home to more than half of the world’s fastest growing economies.
But not without its challenges, Grand Challenges I must admit.
These include technical and infrastructure challenges in area like education, access to water, energy, healthcare, financial inclusion, public safety and transport and agriculture.
The combination of an Africa Rising and one that still has to overcome challenges represents a significant opportunity for mobile research in African.
In January 2014, Industry Solutions Program Director Mark Walker, IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey offered pieces of advice to any company that wants to play in the African IT, especially mobile ecosystem thus, “Strong GDP growth and high ICT spending levels makes Africa an attractive investment destination in 2014, but as users are becoming more sophisticated and demanding, suppliers need to be more focused and resilient in the year ahead.
Despite a number of constraints, African IT departments have been and will continue to be fairly innovative in their approach to newer technologies.
ICT infrastructure development across the continent will accelerate in 2014, as collaboration between private and public improves, demand for access grows, and competition intensifies.”
Why Africa and Mobile Research?
i. Mobile subscriptions in sub-Saharan Africa, alone, are forecasted to exceed 635 million by the end of this year (2014) and predicted to rise to around 930 million by the end of 2019.
A survey conducted by Ericsson supported this submission thus: “Total mobile subscriptions in sub-Saharan Africa stood at about 70% at the end of 2013, compared to about 92% globally, and digital technology is “fast becoming a part of everyday life” in the region.
ii. In the first quarter of 2014, Nigeria and South Africa were still the leading sub-Saharan countries in terms of mobile subscription numbers, followed by Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana.
The survey said. “In terms of net additions per country, Nigeria leads, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Ghana.”
The increase in the number of mobile subscribers has fuelled increases in mobile internet use in Africa and {we are considered to be at the cusp of a mobile internet revolution}.
Ericsson: “The region’s mobile data traffic is predicted to grow around 20 times between the end of 2013 and the end of 2019. Globally, mobile data traffic will grow 10-fold during the same period.
iii. Predictions are that mobile internet use in Africa will increase twenty fold in the next five years … {this is double the estimated growth rate in the rest of the world}.
iv. Lower Priced Devices (in particular smartphones and tablets less than $100), increase investment in network infrastructure, and increase availability of spectrum for mobile broadband, are among the factors that will drive this growth.
v. Mobile Subscription statistics: Ericsson reports: In 2013, 99% of subscriptions in Nigeria were prepaid, as were 98% in Kenya and 83% in South Africa, which the survey said are amongst the “top mobile markets in the region in terms of mobile subscriptions”.
Other countries in the region “follow largely the same trend”. (Source: ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT APPENDIX http://www.ericsson.com/res/docs/2014/emr-june2014-regional-appendices-ssa.pdf)
vi. One report that highlights this potential predicts that the Internet can contribute up to 300 billion United States dollars to Africa’s GDP by 2025; and this is from an estimated 18 billion in 2013.
This translates directly to opportunities to generate income, to create wealth, to create jobs, new business opportunities, economic expansion, etcetera.
vii. The very opportunities African governments are looking for and need to transform their economies and the economic lives of their populations.
viii. Bridging The Gap Of Limitations From Insufficient Network Coverage And Connectivity
The sing song among the region mobile operators is that the death of necessary infrastructure to operate optimally has formed the subterfuge for poor service delivery.
Some equipment vendors and managed service operators have revealed strategies to overcome the shortcomings giving hope to new entrants in the market.
Some of the strategies include:
– Full passive and active maintenance sharing of cell sites / towers.
{All operators need towers and it is not cost effective to have towers built next door to one another and pass cost to consumers as it were, networks must go beyond passive sharing of towers and power at the towers to active sharing of both the physical and electronic components of the cell sites including radio, antenna etc. and bring down operating cost.
When three operators do this, their cost will come to a third each}.
– With collocation strategy come improved operational availability of individual sites: the length of time the site is able to provide voice and data services to customers, how the sites can be kept running for much longer and faulty components replaced or repaired much faster; all these can aggregate benefits for operators and its subscribers.
– Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Chief Executive believes that when everyone is on the Internet all of our businesses and economies will be better and FB launched its Internet.org project last year to connect billions of people without Internet access in places such as Africa and Asia by working with phone operators.
Understanding What Optimal Mobile Research Design For Africa Should Include:
o African mobile market has always had a huge purchasing potential and can build a strong affinity for value-driven products only if Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) vendors understand the peculiar needs of the African market space. Products must be tailored to meet Africa’s unique infrastructural challenges and consumer behaviours.
o Power challenges must be factored in and the fairly nascent infrastructural development across the continent in the design of mobile products.
o Many of the continent mobile network service providers have infrastructure that struggle to deliver quality voice connections across a wide range resulting to the advent of dual-SIM mobile products by discerning providers.
o Telecommunications infrastructures for landline services are underdeveloped and overburdened and cannot meet Africa’s overwhelming need for voice connections hence the dual-SIM philosophy.
o The product offering must incorporate affordability, aspiration and originality to deliver value to price conscious African consumers the low-end mobile.
o Quite important, the new wave dimensions being introduced into the market requires special skills.
For instance, cloud computing: Vendors or OEMS should endeavour to transfer the requisite knowledge for optimal harnessing of the analytics and for growth.
o Therefore, mobile research techniques require skills that must be transferred or shared for the benefit of the OEMs, the researchers and the end-users.
Africa has made giant strides in the past decades in telecommunications and seek Mobile giants partnership in the rise from the ashes.
Africa is now one of the world’s fastest growing economies averaging an annual growth rate of more than five percent with a growing middle class that craves premium smart phone experience.- the low and middle end mobile devices very ideal.
Security Challenges In Protecting Mobile Research Assets – Men, Material, Machine In Africa:
Running the network on a day-to-day basis involves facing stakeholders such as communities, touts etc and managing their expectations can be challenging.
– There are lots of people in the value chain that must be partnered with to help maintain the correct engagement with customers.
Local communities can be used to help make sure local customs are understood and respected, support communities where possible and generally be seen as a friendly face in those communities and a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.
Engage with the communities so that they understand what the operators are trying to achieve and find a way to work with them for the mutual benefit of all parties.

Poor energy supply inducing economic crisis and literal death of night economy: Inadequate energy supply from central grid in the continent force industrialist/entrepreneur to provide their own energy at extra cost to live and to produce goods and services – leading from low profit, to loss and even premature closure of businesses.
Various Countries of the continent in the spirit of Rising Africa are awake to the challenge – Recently, South African Energy Minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson unfolded plans to address weaknesses in the process of commissioning renewable-power projects, seeking to cut the use of coal for electricity and building Africa’s two largest coal-fired power plants.
On the 3rd of September 2014, the Federal Government of Nigeria ratified a Thirty-Year National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) that would cost $3.05 trillion to execute.
The plan will among other things address the lack of linkages in the infrastructure sector including energy, transport, housing, water and ICT.

Technical Knowledge Gap: Maintaining Well Trained, Motivated And Properly Equipped Staff
– The African continent is blessed with abundant human and natural resources; however the dramatic advancement of technology over the past five years has resulted in a gap in IT competencies and skills availability in the continent.
At a recent gathering of experts in San Francisco, United States, for the 2014 Oracle World, a global ICT event, which brings the technology community together, African governments were again urged to create an enabling environment that would encourage growth of ICT skills.
– Ability to maintain a staff strength that is well trained, motivated and properly equipped to do the key jobs in ICT and mobile research industry is a key challenge in Africa.
Today our stock of graduates is still highly skewed towards the humanities and social sciences, while the share of our students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) averages less than 25 per cent}.
African young generation must be equipped with the modern skills and knowledge they need to find African solutions to Africa’s challenges.
African Universities must produce home-grown excellence that bridge the gap between what is being taught in universities and the realities of the market place.
Africa’s new partners in this regard – such as Brazil, China, India and Korea can play important role in building human capital in Africa.
The continent needed to build a roadmap for skills development in ICT then much of the work will be done by people on the ground that are trained and motivated to work safely and effectively.
Organisations must have ready access to people capable of sitting up and maintaining systems and develop ability for adequate Talent management.

Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) has prayed the Federal High Court (FHC) in Abuja to dismiss, in its entirety, a suit filed by Meta Platforms, Inc. challenging the sanctions imposed on it.
The NDPC had, on Feb. 18, imposed both a remedial fee of 32,800,000 million US dollars and eight corrective orders against Meta Inc.
The American multinational technology company was alleged to have violated the fundamental privacy rights of its Nigerian users with respect to behavioural advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
Dissatisfied with the action, Meta Platforms Inc., in a motion ex-parte dated and filed on Feb. 26, dragged the regulatory agency to court as sole respondent.
In the motion ex-parte marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/355/2025 and moved by Fred Onuofia, SAN, on March 4, Justice James Omotosho granted one of the two orders sought.
The judge had granted leave to Meta to commence proceedings by way of judicial-review seeking, inter alia, an order of certiorari quashing the compliance and enforcement orders dated Feb. 18 issued by NDPC against the company, “and all other investigations, proceedings and actions taken by respondent against the applicant leading to the ‘Final Orders.’”
He, however, refused to grant Meta’s relief seeking a stay of the proceedings of all matters relating to the “Final Orders” issued by NDPC against it, pending the hearing and determination of the judicial review proceedings.
Instead, the judge made an order of accelerated hearing of the suit.
The firm, in its originating summons filed by Prof. Gbolahan Elias, SAN, lead counsel, wants the court to determine whether NDPC’s investigative process and ensuing compliance and enforcement orders (the Final Orders) issued on Feb. 18 were invalid, null and void.
Meta, in its application dated and filed March 19, hinged the question on the allegation that the commission failed to provide it with adequate notice or an opportunity to be heard on alleged violations of the NDP Act prior to issuing the “Final Orders.”
Meta argued that such action violated its due process rights, including its right to fair hearing under Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), among other reliefs.
But NDPC, in a preliminary objection to Meta’s suit, told the court that the suit is incompetent and the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain same.
The regulatory agency, in its application dated April 10 and filed April 11 by Adeola Adedipe, SAN, its lawyer and the head, ALPHA & ROHI Law Firm, urged the court to either strike out or dismiss the case.
Adedipe, in two grounds of argument, submitted that the originating summons filed by the company is incompetent for non-compliance with the mandatory provision of Order 34 Rule 6(1) of the FHC (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019.
Quoting the provision, the lawyer said: “No ground shall be relied upon or any relief sought at the hearing, except the grounds and reliefs sought in the statement.”
He also argued that the suit, as presently constituted, is grossly incompetent and academic, the reliefs sought therein, not being capable of activating the jurisdiction of the court.
“The suit is liable to be struck out/dismissed, in limine,” Adedipe argued.
The NDPC, in the affidavit attached to the preliminary objection, stated that by an ex-parte motion, Meta Inc. filed the case.
The commission said that the company had filed the suit, seeking leave to apply for judicial review against the decision of the respondent taken on Feb. 18.
It averred that there was a statement made pursuant to Order 34 of the Rules of the court, supporting the said application, containing the company’s two reliefs.
It said the court granted permission on March 4 for Meta to commence the proceeding, by way of judicial review.
According to the respondent, the originating summons filed by the plaintiff was commenced on 19th March, 2025, 15 days after leave was granted for the judicial review proceedings to be commenced.
NDPC, however, contended that the reliefs contained in the originating summons were completely different from the reliefs contained in the statement filed to support the ex-parte application for judicial review.
It said it believes that this error on the part of Meta was fundamental and “the defendant/applicant (NDPC) does not intend to waive its right to object, in this regard.”
“The defendant/applicant does not intend to waive its rights in challenging these fundamental errors, which are fatal to this proceeding and jurisdiction of the court.”
The commission said it would be in the interest of justice for its objection to be sustained.
Also, in a counter affidavit deposed to by Osunleye Olatubosun, NDPC ‘s staff, in opposition to the originating summons filed by Meta on March 19, he said the suit was brought under the judicial review procedure, primarily, to contest the decision of his office against Meta.
Olatubosun averred that in the NDPC ‘s decision, Meta was sanctioned after a protracted and thorough process of investigation.
He said the investigative power of the commission was activated by a petition written by an organisation, the Personal Data Protection Awareness Initiative (PDPAI).
The PDPAI had alleged that the company breached the data protection rights of users of Facebook and Instagram.
He averred that in the said petition, the plaintiff was alleged to be engaging in behavioural advertising without obtaining explicit consent of data subjects (users).
He said compelling evidence were provided in support of the petition, revealing Meta’s private policy showing that it conducted behavioural advertising, without obtaining consent from the data subjects.
The officer, in the counter affidavit dated and filed on April 30, described behavioural advertisement as “a special form of targeted advertising, where consumers are shown advertisements based on their behavioural data.”
He said it is a kind of advertising which collects and tracks individual sensitive information, without their knowledge or consent, to either share with third parties, or to decide specialised advertisements to be shown to the consumers.
Olatubosun said during investigation, NDPC drew the company’s attention to some very disturbing violations in this regard, especially as to non-consensual data processing activities.
He said these included the disclosure of sensitive personal data of minors relating to their sex lives; sensitive personal data of minors involving drug use; and sensitive personal data of minor pupils in school, involving erotic dancing.
He said it also revealed sponsored advertisements on gambling, involving the manipulated personal data of a female journalist on TVC; sponsored advertisement on gambling involving the manipulated personal data of a male journalist on Channels; and manipulated personal data of public figures, conspiring to commit a felony; explicit video of a woman delivering a child, with her genitals in full display, etc.
He said Meta was, therefore, found in breach of certain provisions of the Nigeria Data Protection (NDP) Act, and that its promotion of debasing images outside the expectation of concerned data subjects offended the principles of fairness, lawfulness, transparency, accountability and duty of care.
Besides, the officer said failure of the company to file a compliance audit with the commission for the year 2022, was a breach of the NDP Act.
He equally said that cross border transfer of data by Meta, contravened mandatory requirements under the NDP Act.
Olatubosun, who said that it was wrong for the plaintiff to process the data of its non-users of it platforms, added that Meta’s privacy policy violates relevant provisions of the NDP Act.
Against these development, the officer said the commission ordered the firm to, henceforth, “seek express consent of data subjects in Nigeria, where their personal data for behavioural advertising will be process.
“Carry out Data Processing Impact Assessment, taking into account the democratic development of Nigeria; update its privacy policy; cease and desist from transferring data out of Nigeria without approval of the commission, in line with the NDP Act.
“Create an appropriate icon link for educative videos, on the dangers of manipulative, unlawful and unfair data processing; put in place sufficient measures for the protection of data privacy on its platforms; and payment of 32, 800, 000 USD.”
Olatubosun said that the case lacks merit, praying the court to dismiss it.
Meanwhile, other reliefs sought by Meta in the main suit, include whether NDPC’s initiation of its investigation, based on a petition submitted by an organisation, rather than on a complaint filed by a “data subject” (as defined under Section 65 of NDPA), invalidates the investigation and the “Final Orders.”
It also prayed the court for an order of certiorari, quashing the investigation, all proceedings constituted thereby, as well as the ensuing “Final Orders” issued by the commission against it.
It equally sought an order of injunction restraining NDPC from enforcing or taking steps to enforce any or all of the orders and/or intimidating, harassing or coercing the applicant to pay the purported remedial fee as contained in the “Final Orders.”
However, Meta, in a motion on notice filed on April 23, sought to amend its statement attached to the ex-parte application, having seen through the notice of preliminary objection which was filed by Adeola Adedipe, SAN, on behalf of the commission.
Onuofia, SAN, while adopting all their processes, said the motion sought an order granting leave to the company to amend its statement pursuant to Order 34, Rule 3(2)(a) of the FHC rules.
He said it also sought an order deeming the amended statement, which had already been filed and served on NDPC as having been properly filed and served.
Giving grounds why his application should be grated, Onuofia said on March 4, the court heard and granted their motion ex-parte for leave.
He said, thereafter, Meta filed it originating summons on March 19.
The lawyer, however, told the judge that the firm sought to amend the wording of the reliefs and grounds set out in the statement to replicate the wording used in the originating summons.
He said the decision was to ensure efficiency and the full and fair hearing of the issues arising in the originating summons.
According to him, the proposed amended statement highlights the amendments that the applicant seeks permission to make to the statement.
Onuofia said the requested amendment would not cause any injustice to NDPC.
But Adedipe vehemently opposed Onuofia’s prayer seeking an amendment, urging the court to dismiss the application.
The senior counsel told the court that a counter affidavit was filed on May 2 in opposition to the motion.
He argued that the application was presumptuous and misleading.
He submitted that an amendment of a process is not as of right, but entirely at the discretion of the court, where such is practicable and lawful to do so.
Adedipe argued that the reliefs sought in a statement attached to a judicial review procedure cannot be amended, except the grounds for which the reliefs are premised.
He said the reliefs contained in the statement, are such that must be reproduced in the originating process filed, after leave had been granted for judicial review.
According to him, the applicant seeks to amend the reliefs set out in the unattached predicate “statement.”
“There can be no amendment to incompetent reliefs set out in the statement,” he said.
The lawyer argued that to concede that the reliefs contained in the predicate statement should be amended, was to make a mockery of the entire proceedings as the court had already granted the said reliefs contained in Exhibit A.
‘This is suggestive that the court already determined the substantive suit in favour of the applicant, ex-parte.
“The application before this court is not for ‘substitution’ of the reliefs, but amendment of orders or reliefs which had already been granted in the ex-parte application,” he argued.
He added that what Meta sought to do was to substitute the reliefs, under the guise of amendment.
He said the application contradicted Order 34(6)(1) of the FHC (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019.
“It projects a lot of incongruity,” he said, arguing that there was no provision under the Rules to amend reliefs in the statement; but that only grounds of the reliefs can be amended.
Justice James Omotosho adjourned the matter until Oct. 3 for consolidated ruling on the preliminary objection and motion to amend.
France has unveiled a $4.3m grant to combat technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) against women across Africa and the Middle East.
The multi-million-dollar financial funding being released through the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) will support feminist civil society organisations (CSOs) to fight online gender-based violence such as cyberstalking and image-based exploitation
The initiative, launched under the Support Fund for Feminist Organisations, seeks to finance groups of national, international, and French CSOs over a three-to-four-year period.
The AFD emphasised that these organisations must operate in at least four countries, with three among the most vulnerable, including nations like Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Lebanon.
“TFGBV is a digital pandemic affecting millions of women and girls. We need urgent, cross-border solutions that put power back in the hands of women-led organisations,” said the French global aid agency.
Other forms of TFGBV include cyberstalking, sextortion and online harassment. According to the United Nations, 90% of African women internet users have encountered some form of online violence, often deterring their participation in public discourse.
The new AFD funding will focus on capacity-building, policy advocacy, creating safer online spaces, and promoting feminist innovation. Applications are open until August 31, 2025, with a strong emphasis on local leadership.
AFD’s call comes as part of France’s broader feminist foreign policy, which aims to channel 75% of its bilateral aid towards gender equality objectives by the end of 2025.
“Women’s rights cannot be fully realised if digital spaces remain dangerous and hostile,” added the AFD.
Interested CSOs can access the call for proposals on AFD’s website. The selected consortium will design and manage disbursement mechanisms, ensure knowledge exchange across countries, and integrate survivors’ voices into the fight against TFGBV.
France is confident that the new AFD initiative will empower women-led groups in Africa and the Middle East to scale solutions, shape policies, and build safer digital spaces.
Dr Vincent Olatunji, national commissioner, Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC), has emphasized that data privacy, protection, and cybersecurity are “inseparable pillars of the digital age” and must be prioritized in Nigeria’s digital transformation journey.
Dr Vincent Olatunji, national commissioner, NDPC
Dr. Olatunji made this assertion during his keynote address titled “Data Privacy and Protection: Nigeria’s Roadmap to Compliance” at the ongoing National Cybersecurity Conference in Abuja.
He underscored that while data protection focuses on safeguarding personal information from misuse, cybersecurity protects the systems that store this data. “Data privacy is a basic human right that empowers individuals to control how their personal information is collected, used, and shared,” he said.
“Strong cybersecurity is essential to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data. Conversely, robust data protection frameworks help guide effective cybersecurity practices and foster a culture of privacy.”
Highlighting Nigeria’s progress, Dr. Olatunji noted the country’s recent Tier 3 (“establishing”) ranking in the 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index and its top position in Africa particularly in the area of data protection. He traced the evolution of Nigeria’s data protection journey, culminating in the signing of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDP Act) 2023 by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).
He described the NDP Act as the cornerstone of the country’s data governance framework. “The Act regulates the processing of personal data in Nigeria and guarantees the privacy rights of individuals,” he explained.
It applies to both local and international data controllers and processors handling data of Nigerian subjects and provides clear guidelines on data collection, storage, consent, data subject rights, and penalties for non-compliance.
Dr. Olatunji cited the recent ₦766.2 million fine imposed on MultiChoice for non-compliance as an example of the Commission’s enforcement capacity. He also revealed that the NDPC has generated over ₦2 billion in the last two years, with the data protection sector now valued at ₦16.2 billion alongside the creation of numerous job opportunities.
He further highlighted ecosystem growth, citing the certification of 455 Data Protection Officers (DPOs) under the National Certification Program and verification of 3,343 Data Protection Compliance Organizations (DPCOs) by 2025.
While celebrating progress, Dr. Olatunji also pointed to key areas for improvement, including building institutional capacity, enhancing data literacy and workforce development, and strengthening collaboration across sectors.
In conclusion, he urged stakeholders to “embrace a culture of data protection, implement robust cybersecurity practices, and stay attuned to the evolving regulatory landscape” in order to reduce risks, protect assets, and support long-term national growth.
