Do you still remember that the free Google station was introduced several times in 2016 in some parts of the world and 2018 in Nigeria?
Google Station is a service that allows Google partners to set up free Wi-Fi hotspots in public places, providing software and hardware tips for converting fibers to Wi-Fi.
You’ll recall that Google station was launched in Lagos, Abuja and plans were being put in place to make the free Wi-Fi facilities available in about 200 sites in Lagos and five other states. But it appears the plans have been shifted and this is the end of Solomon Gandhi.
Google in a statement said that getting online has become much simpler and cheaper compared to five years ago since mobile data plans have become more affordable and mobile connectivity is improving globally, and mobile data per GB is the most affordable in some parts of the world, especially in India and Nigeria.
At least you can confidently get 1GB for N100, 6GB for N1500 and so on using some network.
Google’s initial plan was to make 10 million Nigerians, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs), benefit immensely from this project. The other states that were supposed to benefits from the project include Kaduna; Port Harcourt (Rivers state); Ibadan (Oyo state); Enugu and Abuja.
But now, Google station is shutting down this year… You can read the full statement here.
