.NG Registrations Reach Only 60,000 of Its 250,000 Target

According to the President of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA) , the company only managed to register about 60,000 .NG domain names in 2013.

The Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA) hoped to hit the 250,000 milestone in 2013. However, the company only managed to register about 60,000 .NG domain names,which is only 24% of its 250,000 target.

The President of NIRA said that there were three major factors that prevented the company to hit the target :

– Lack of Internet Access
– The insecurity in trading with .NG domain names
– Many nigerians refused to patronize Nigerian products

NIRA’s president also added that the company will reduce the target to 100,000 in 2015.
