While possible, I think the issues in Nigeria are different than in countries with strong property rights. From what I hear, the reason why wireless/mobile internet is so much more reliable and popular in Africa is that with wired internet people steal wires that are hung on utility poles. Not sure if they would also dig up underground wires, but obviously burying the wire has more associated cost than hanging it from a pole.
