The Federal Government of Nigeria has said that the 5G network will soon be deployed across the country.
Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, who disclosed this in Abuja, said the essence is to increase connectivity.
He explained that the delay in the deployment was due to the conspiracy theory surrounding the 5G.
“We’d reached advanced stage of 5G, then, an issue came up that 5G was related to COVID-19; many people including the educated ones started circulating it without verification.
“Our government is a listening one; so we listen to constructive criticisms, respect it and appreciate it and at least we value it.
“So we gave enough time to do more consultation, creating awareness in local languages so as to engage our citizens to address all the challenges,” he said.
