Starlink restores access in Nigeria’s most congested cities for ₦159,000 monthly
Tech • 5d ago
Starlink has restored access to its Business (Priority) plan in Nigeria’s most congested cities, offering a partial reprieve to customers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt who have faced months of “Sold Out” notices.
But the relief comes at a steep price: ₦159,000 ($99.38) monthly, plus hardware costs that can exceed ₦4 million ($2,500).
The reopening, which began on February 14, 2026, does not introduce a new product. Rather, it restores access to a previously suspended tier that was paused alongside residential subscriptions as congestion intensified in high-demand urban centres.
For residents in Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, Surulere, and parts of Abuja, where new residential orders remain blocked, the options are limited: upgrade to the Priority plan or join the waitlist.
