摘要

Teledensity in Nigeria has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years. The growing demand for mobile data services in Nigeria’s telecommunication industry is expected to boost government revenue at a period of dwindling in oil prices. Hence, it is imperative to examine the benefits, challenges and forecast future trend of teledensity in Nigeria. This paper seeks the most appropriate specification to analyse and forecast a realization of Nigeria’s teledensity using monthly time series from 2000 to 2015. We employed the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) to model the dynamic features in the teledensity data. Our results clearly indicate that the ARIMA (1, 1, ||1, 2, 3, 4, 9||) is found to provide the best satisfactory fit in the class of the estimated models. The fitted ARIMA model passed all the diagnostic tests at conventional level of significance. The forecasted values indicate that the Nigeria’s teledensity will continue to increase over time. Howbeit, the trend analysis indicates that the rate of growth of secured internet in Nigeria is quite dawdling. With the growing threats of cyber-criminal activities associated with the increasing teledensity, we therefore, urge the National Assembly to expedite actions towards the speedy passage of the Cyber Crime Bill. Furthermore, the National Assembly needs to provide legislative backing to the protection of telecommunication infrastructures by expediting actions regarding the passage of the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) Bill as this will help to boost the growth witnessed in the telecommunication industry and increased the revenue base of the government.
