Reacting to the development, the minister of communication and digital economy, Isa Pantami, also described the official deployment as a great achievement. 

“We have made it again.” @SpaceX: “Thank you for hosting me at your headquarters in the United States in December 2022 to complete the logistics for the deployment,” he tweeted. 

In 2022, talks to secure licenses to launch the Starlink service kicked off between the company and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
