The Federal Government has approved the deployment of the Fifth Generation Network (5G) in Nigeria. The Minister has directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to commence immediate implementation of the 5G plan for the country. The roll-out of the 5G will be carried out in phases beginning with major cities in the country where there is a need for high-quality broadband. The NCC will publish an implementation roadmap for the deployment of 5G across the country with service roll-out obligations also addressing issues related to health, safety and others to drive effective implementation of the deployment of 5G.
The National Frequency Management Council (NFMC), will soon release the 5G Spectrum to the NCC for auction to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) that will need the spectrum for 5G deployment.”
