The Nigerian Communications Commission has come out to announce that it is is on the verge of deploying the Fifth Generation (5G) network in Nigeria.

The commission recently had its say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the NCC, the issuance of spectrum licences for the companies that will roll out services have already concluded and 5G network should be unveiled soon.

NCC added that the deployment will start from the state capital and gradually extends to other areas across the state.

It read, “Although the deployment will start from the state capital and gradually extends to other areas across the state, it is important to state that, unlike 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G, the 5G network will bring substantial network improvements.”

“The benefits will include higher connection speed, mobility, and capacity, as well as low-latency capabilities to communications services in Nigeria for business and help to further open up Nigeria in the merging global market.”
