The mobile Operator disclosed this at the
90th edition of the telecom consumer parliament, organised by the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC in Lagos
In May, the NCC handed over the final
letters of award of 5G spectrum licences to winners of the December 3.5GHz
spectrum auctions.
The NCC already mandated them to begin
offering 5G services in August.
During a panel discussion, a representative
of MTN Nigeria, Mr. Chinedu Ezeigweneme, responded to the mandate by saying
that MTN had made arrangements and was collaborating with all necessary parties
to ensure a smooth roll out.
“We have implemented all of our plans. We
have talked with the appropriate parties, and I can guarantee that MTN will
launch 5G services on August 24,” Ezeigweneme added.
NCC, during the parliament discussion, stakeholders
dispelled the fears that 5G network had health implications.
Dr. Bako Wakil, director of technical
standards and network integrity at NCC, stated in a report he gave on the topic
of the parliament that no relevant health and safety agency has identified any
health risks associated with the 5G network.
Wakil asked industry stakeholders to work
with the Commission to investigate the vast opportunities and potentials of the
new technology, saying that industry participation was essential for the
effective deployment of 5G services in Nigeria.
According to Wakil, 5G will offer a variety
of advantages and opportunities that will speed up national growth and promote
modern living.
According to him, the technology is
anticipated to significantly improve networks through increased connection
speed, mobility, and capacity as well as low-latency capabilities.
NAN reports that the theme of the meeting
