The report said the move would expand the list of companies approved by Nigerian regulator to provide space-based broadband services alongside SpaceX.

Amazon's Kuiper Systems received approval to provide Ka-band services in Nigeria from February 2026 through February 2033 using its planned 3,236-satellite Project Kuiper constellation, Reuters said.

It added that NSLComm was cleared to operate its 264-satellite BeetleSat-1 network, while Satelio IoT received approval for its planned 491-satellite IoT system, with one satellite currently in orbit.
