Abstract

On January 30 2020 the World Health Organization (2020) declared the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) a global public health emergency of international concern. This paper examines the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on consumption of telecom products in Nigeria. Secondary data from the financials of MTN Nigeria Communications Plc and telecommunication (Telecom) industry reports the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) were analyzed. From the review of available data, the author establishes that the consumption of telecom services in Nigeria increased during the period of the first quarter of 2020 which was the period which coincided with the lockdown of the economy. The paper recommends that a similar study is carried out for the period up to June 2020 to determine if the consumption pattern observed for the earlier part of the years persists.
