Notes

Nigeria leads Africa with nearly 29% of the continent's internet users, followed by Egypt. This dominance is driven by Nigeria’s large population, expanding mobile networks, and increasing smartphone adoption. Egypt’s high internet user base is due to similar factors, including strong urbanization, government initiatives to enhance digital access, and widespread social media usage.
