Expanding Internet Access vs. New Age Policy

In this episode of Fafanua, we delve into Africa's urgent need for improved high-speed internet and the challenges posed by the telecom sector's carbon footprint. Join us as we discuss with Diseye Isoun, an expert in African broadband and digital infrastructure, about balancing broadband development with decarbonisation efforts. We explore the gaps in Africa's internet coverage, the implications of using the internet as a tool during civil unrest, and the potential for sustainable growth. Additionally, we address the recent controversial decision by Nigeria's Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, to mandate that candidates for higher education must be 18 and older. Femi Adeyeye, Co-Convener of the Fund Education Coalition, joins us to unpack the ramifications of this policy, the pushback from stakeholders, and its potential impact on Nigeria's education system.
