FG Approves 5G Network For Nigerians

The Federal Government has approved the National Policy on Fifth Generation (5G) Networks for Nigeria’s Digital Economy.

According to the statement signed by Femi Adeluyi, Technical Assistant on Information Technology to the Ministry’s Minister Isa Ali Pantami, the approval was given on Wednesday at the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC).

Adeluyi said that a thorough stakeholder engagement that spanned two years had been put into the project before it was considered for deployment in the country.

“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,” he said.

“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.
