The Minister of Communication Technology, Dr. Omobola Johnson said this in Lagos at commissioning of MainOne MDX-I data center facility.
According to her, the launch is a notable accomplishment that complements initiatives required to further drive the realization of the National Broadband Plan in Nigeria.
