This paper tackled the issue of fiber optic network and its
implications to education and national development, through
improvement of health facilities, creation of job opportunities
for many Nigerians in communication and transportation
industries and brining about efficiencies in banking network
system. Nigeria is blessed with abundant human and
environmental resources that could be tapped for national

of Fiber Optic network system, Nigeria will be able to
actualize its vision of development in the year 2020.
