Mobile Internet Boom Bypasses Two Thirds of Nigerian Women.

  • Gender Disparity in Mobile Internet Access: Despite Nigeria’s booming digital landscape, around two-thirds of adult Nigerian women lack access to mobile internet, creating a 38 percent gender gap in smartphone ownership, as highlighted in a report by GSMA.
  • Mobile Internet Usage Gender Gap: Only 33 percent of adult Nigerian women use mobile internet compared to 52 percent of men, indicating a significant gender disparity in access to digital services.
  • Global Gender Gap in Mobile Internet Usage: This gender gap in mobile internet access is not unique to Nigeria but is prevalent across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with 15 percent fewer women using mobile internet than men.
  • Challenges to Closing the Gap: Affordability, literacy, digital skills, safety concerns, and data costs pose significant barriers to further mobile internet use for both men and women in Nigeria and other LMICs.
