“The commission had stated that there is no deployment of 5G in Nigeria at the moment.”
The Nigerian Communications Commission has said that no operator can switch on 5G in the country without a licence, insisting that it has not licensed any operator to operate with the technology.
Danbatta said, “The commission had stated that there is no deployment of 5G in Nigeria at the moment. In November last year, NCC approved trial test of 5G for three months and the trial has been concluded and installation decommissioned.” “The NCC had explained frequently asked questions on 5G in view of recent developments in which misleading materials with no proven evidence are being circulated to link COVID-19 with 5G technology and therefore refutes claims that 5G will be powered in Lagos,” he added.
“However, we just stress the fact that 5G is a protocol for mobile networks and weather we adopt it or not, the world will move on with new innovation and we might be in a race to catch up if we start late,” he stated.
