Regulator of the telecoms sector, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has expressed concern over safety fears raised by the aviation industry in the United States (US) over the rollout of the fifth generation (5G) technology in the country. Nigeria is at the threshold of deploying the technology having concluded the bid for the 3.5 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum that will be used to deploy the technology in the country in December 2021. The Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) and Association of Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) say the rollout of the technology in the country should go on as scheduled. They are convinced, based on empirical reports, that there is no interference with aviation navigation systems with 5G technology mobile phone services.
