I must really
say that this is a giant step forward from Facebook considering the success of
the free basic internet launched months ago that allow you to access some sites
for free with Airtel network.
Now, According
to techsuplex, Facebook is deploying ExpressWifi in Lagos in collaboration with
Coollink, a Nigerian ISP and System Integrator based in Lagos, Abuja, Port
Harcourt and Kano. The service will be launch this week but already in
operational in some part of lagos such has Ikota Shopping Complex.
What You
Should Know About Express WiFi
ExpressWifi by
Facebook is a new program that lets phone owners purchase data from local
internet service providers.
With Express
Wifi coverage, you’ll be able to browse the sites on Free basics for free, but
if you want to go the extra mile, you’ll be charged N40 for 100MB daily upto
N1,600 for a 5GB monthly plan.
Well, let me
not talk much, See the data plans available on ExpressWifi below:

750MB N270

is completed, they’ll move to other states too.
