Alake said the ministry had laid 2700 kilometres of fibre duct across the state.
“While Phase II of the project comprises an additional 3,300km of unified fibre ducts being laid across the state. We will utilise the duct to bring down the cost of internet connectivity in the state,” the commissioner said.
