This study investigates into the possibilities and opportunities in Nigeria telecoms terrestrial network. The current backbone network map of two mobile telecommunication operators in Nigeria have been analysed for the purpose of determining the suitable fibre network coverage. A proposal has been drawn on the workability of a single national fibre network coverage resulting to increased quality of services at a lower cost to the consumers.
