Nigeria In One Minute
Nigeria’s .ng domain name adoption hits 100,000
The adoption and use of the Country Code Top Level Domain name (ccTLD), Nigeria’s .ng, is on the upward swing, as the figure hits 100, 000.
This statistic was given yesterday by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), when the management team had an interaction with The Guardian.
The increase witnessed in the adoption of .ng may have shown a gradual decline in the patronage of foreign domain names by individuals and businesses in Nigeria, which has been the norm for years and had subsequently, resulted in increased capital flight from the economy.
Countries around the world strive to promote their respective domain systems in order to retain substantial part of the Internet expenditure in-country.NiRA team, led by the President, Sunday Folayan, informed that Nigeria’s .ng ranked second largest after South Africa, which has about one million registered .za.in Africa.
