    Opera Saves Nigerians N5Bn in Data Costs in 2023

    Opera-Mini

    Opera – the company behind the popular mobile browser, Opera Mini – has announced a significant landmark in Nigeria:

    In 2023, Mini users have benefited from over 3,760 TB of free data, which equates to nearly N5 billion in cost savings.

    Moreover, Opera Mini simultaneously extends the lifespan of the user’s data with unique data saving technology, allowing the bundle to last up to 10 times longer.

    This is a testament to Opera Mini’s role in bridging the digital divide and making the internet accessible and affordable for millions.

    In Nigeria, around 60% of the population lives under the poverty line, some with a monthly salary as low as N90,000 – in which case, a monthly data package of 20GB would consume 12% of their income.

    “Opera’s journey in Nigeria is a clear reflection of our vision: to break down barriers and make the web accessible to everyone,” said Jørgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera.

    “The nearly N5 billion saved represents more than just economic value – it symbolizes tens of millions of Nigerians being able to invest in themselves and their personal development.”
