So now, Nigeria is ready for 5G, as long as we address the major challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reached this stage whether we will deploy 5G, but we are on track conducting research, investigations, engaging stakeholders and if all issues are addressed, the executive will support the deployment of 5G in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that so far, no negative impacts have been established from the research and trial carried out locally and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>On speculations that the 5G network escalated the COVID-19 pandemic, he said there is no link between 5G and COVID-19 pandemic, adding: \u201cThere is no relationship between 5G and the virus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only issue being raised usually is about radiation, but people don\u2019t realise that radiation of 4G is more harmful than that of 5G. The radiation of the microwave oven and smartphones is more harmful than that of the 5G.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained the Nigerian Telecommunications sector was part of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the United Nations where issues of telecommunications technology and its impacts were discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, he noted that on August 29, 2019, the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), as a regulator of the telecommunication sector, announced its intention to begin to prove of concept trial in the country, saying his attention was drawn to trials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn September 19, 2019, after contacting stakeholders, the Federal Government approved the process of trying to study the impact of 5G in selected locations, including Abuja, Kano, Lagos, Ibadan, Abekuta and Calabar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we were studying the technology, the ITU and World Health Organisation (WHO) were also studying it, \u201c he added.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that on September 25, 2019, the first trial of 5G was concluded in Nigeria, adding: \u201cTo demonstrate trust, I pledged to make a trial so if there is any security implication or medical implication, then Isah would be the number one victim.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isah Ali Pantami, has declared that Nigeria is ready for the deployment of the Fifth Generation Network (5G), as long as the major challenges have been resolved.
