Interconnection and Peering

For years, Nigeria's internet traffic has depended heavily on international routing, adding cost, latency, and inefficiency to what should be local exchanges of data. Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and peering offer a way to change that — keeping local traffic local, reducing costs, and improving performance for businesses and end users alike. This webinar brings together leading voices in Africa's interconnection space — including IXPN, DE-CIX, NAP Africa, AF-CIX, Meta, and SwiftTalk — to unpack why IXPs and peering matter for Nigerian businesses right now. Attendees will hear how interconnection drives ecosystem growth, why it's a strategic lever for business resilience and expansion, and what practical steps organizations can take to leverage it.
