Starlink, the satellite constellation operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, launched its satellite internet services in Nigeria yesterday, January 31. Its aim is to provide a fast and reliable internet connection to users.

On Twitter, the company announced that Nigeria is the first African country to be able to use SpaceX's network. It also indicated that the service will launch, this year, in several other African countries, including Mozambique, Kenya, and Angola. South Africa was also supposed to welcome the satellite internet services this year but, in August 2022, SpaceX dashed the hopes by updating its rollout plan.
