The Federal Government has approved a national framework for 5G networks for Nigeria’s digital economy.
This followed a presentation by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Pantami, during a Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.
A statement issued by the Minister’s Technical Assistant on Information Technology, Dr Femi Adeluyi, revealed that the implementation of the national policy is with immediate effect.
According to the statement, “The national policy has been developed over a period of two years, due to the need for extensive stakeholder engagement and the need to ensure adequate public awareness and sensitisation. The stakeholder engagement was thorough and multi-sectoral in nature. It also took into account the report of the 3-month 5G trials that commenced on the 25th of November 2019. The report critically reviewed and studied the health and security implications of deploying 5G in Nigeria.
