Google Station, Google’s free WiFi is offline in Lagos

In the first week of September 2019, BaloTechNG discovered that Google Station had stopped functioning in the University of Lagos (Unilag).
Reports say this happened as far back as July.
Further investigations show that apart from Unilag, two other primary Google Station locations in Lagos — Ikeja City Mall (ICM) and the Computer Village — are offline.
Google Station, Google’s free Wi-Fi initiative that delivers free Internet access in select locations, launched last year in Nigeria, with Lagos and Abuja its primary locations. More than a year later, Lagos is seemingly offline on the programme.

In all locations where Google Station is offline, other free Wi-Fi services are working. Some of them include Express Wi-Fi by Facebook and SANWO FREE WIFI deployed by present Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu during his campaign in December.
In Computer Village and ICM, store owners and workers say they do not know why it stopped working. Unilag students theorise that the power generating sets powering the Wi-Fi routers in their school blew up.
BaloTechNG could not confirm if this was a regulatory issue.
In March 2019, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) tagged Google Station illegal in what seemed like a misunderstanding.

Their win over West Ham United on Saturday evening lifted them to within two points of the top four in the Premier League table with just five games to go.
