The Director General of National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Seidu Mohammed said the nanosatellites will go into orbit from the launch base at Miami, Florida, US.

“Nanosatellite” or “nanosat” is an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 1 and 10 kg (2.2 and 22.0 lb). A successful launch will be consolidating Nigeria’s position as Africa’s major satellite powerhouse with billions of US dollars already invested in its satellite industry including setting up of offshore and in-shore infrastructures as well as the buildup of a large pool of human capacity in the high-skill satellite industry.

Nigeria kicked off its forage into the satellite industry in 2003 with the launch into space of NigeriaSat-1, a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite for weather reports and other phenomena. It was built for NASRDA by the UK-based satellite technology company, Surrey Space Technology Limited. In 2007, it launched two more LEOs: NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X.

A communication satellite Nigcomsat-1 was launched in 2004 with the help of Chinese government. Nigcomsat-1 is deemed to be Africa’s first communication satellite. It would later be replaced with Nigcomsat-1R in 2011 after Nigcomsat-1 satellite failed in space after losing power on 11 November 2008.

I don't see how these satellites have improved the life of the average Nigerian generally.
