Nigeria - Digital Value Chain Infrastructure for Boosting Employment (D-VIBE)

The Digital Value Chain Infrastructure for Boosting Employment (D-VIBE) Project is a nationwide digital infrastructure initiative in Nigeria designed to expand broadband connectivity, strengthen digital inclusion, and support productivity, jobs, and access to services across key sectors such as agriculture, education, health, commerce, and governance. The project will deploy 90,000 km of fibre optic infrastructure across the country through a public-private partnership (PPP) and a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), helping extend the national fibre network from about 30,000 km to 120,000 km. The total project cost is estimated at USD 2 billion, including USD 200 million from the African Development Bank, USD 500 million from the World Bank, and USD 100 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
