The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Tuesday said it has not concluded plans for the deployment of Fifth Generation (5G) network in the country.

DigitalTimesNG gathered that the Commission recently published the Draft Consultation Document on the Deployment of Fifth Generation (5G) Mobile Technology in the country.

The Draft Consultation Document for the deployment of the 5G in Nigeria has been produced and uploaded on the Commission’s official website (www.ncc.gov.ng), according to a statement signed by the NCC’s Director, Public Affairs, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde.

“This document defines the implementation plan for the deployment of 5G in Nigeria. It provides a background into the benefits of 5G technology and outlines the Commission’s plans and strategies for a successful implementation of 5G in Nigeria.

“It presents guidelines for the relevant areas of the technology and the expectations of the Commission from the operators. This Plan takes into account the expectations of all the stakeholders in the communications industry in Nigeria,” the Commission said in the statement.

DigitalTimesNG recalls that Nigeria undertook 5G trials in selected locations within the country in collaboration with an Operator in 2019, the trial which among others, was to study and observe any health or security challenges the 5G network might present.

The Commission further noted that “it also has an ongoing engagement with the academia while at the same time funding 5G related research projects, all in a bid to ensure the nation is provided with the best in terms of research findings and policy input, to drive the implementation and deployment of 5G technology in Nigeria.

“These engagements are targeted at enabling the development of robust policies, which will put Nigeria in the best place to contribute maximally to the digital economy drive of the nation.”

The NCC said in the statement that the specific targets of these engagements include the development of policies which have the potential of accelerating the deployment of 5G networks in Nigeria, maximizing the productivity and efficiency benefits of 5G to the nation, creating new opportunities for Nigerian businesses at home and abroad and encouraging in-country investment and ensuring the operations of 5G networks are in conformity with international standards

“For the avoidance of doubt, as with the previous technologies such as 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G, the Commission will not commence 5G deployment without due consultation with all relevant stakeholders,” the NCC reassured in the statement.
