MTN Nigeria Communications Plc (MTN Nigeria) has announced that it was successful in its bid to acquire one of the two 100MHZ spectrum licences in the 3.5GHz spectrum band auctioned by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

The telecom giant said in a statement signed by the company secretary, Uto Ukpanah that “This is a significant step towards achieving the goals of the Nigerian National Broadband Plan (2020-25).

“Acquisition of the spectrum will enable the rollout of 5G services to MTN Nigeria’s customers.”

Fifth-generation (5G) mobile network technology offers faster data speeds and lower latency.

It allows several devices to be connected at one go and creates vast possibilities in innovation and transformation.

5G will enable seamless communication and interconnectivity between smart devices, a process commonly called the Internet of Things. It has the potential to accelerate the digital transformation of industries.

Commenting on the outcome, MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola said: “5G is the future of network technology and offers incredible possibilities for new and enhanced services for our customers.

“Our successful bid presents an opportunity to be at the forefront of delivering these technological advancements to as many Nigerians as possible. The benefits of 5G are multi-faceted, and they hold the key to unlocking new avenues for the nation’s growth and development.

“It is far more than high-speed internet or faster-streaming speeds; 5G has implications for improved service delivery across every sector. It has the potential to transform our nation’s economy and make a difference in the daily lives of every Nigerian.

“We thank the NCC for organising a transparent auction which will transport us into the ‘tomorrow’ we desire.

“The auction could not have come at a better time as we count down the last few hours to the close of the MTN Group’s ongoing offer for sale of shares in MTN Nigeria.”
