The Federal Government has said that the 5G Network will be deployed in January next year.
Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami disclosed this at a meeting on Thursday in Borno state.
According to him, the need to deploy the modern system was due to the over 50,000 telecommunications sites across the country and about 16,000 outages recorded by mobile network operators between January 2021 and July 2021.
He said the 5G technology would boost surveillance against criminal elements vandalising public assets across the country.
Pantami was represented by Ubale Maska, commissioner for technical services, NCC.
