Nigeria Becomes First West African Country To Use 5G Technology by Ejadike(m): 7:39pm On Dec 26, 2019
MTN Nigeria Plc announced that Nigeria has become the first country in West Africa to try 5G technology and applications.

It was the outcome of a collaboration between the Ministry of Communications Technology and Digital Economy, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), MTN and Huawei (Abuja), ZTE (Calabar) and Ericsson and TECNO (Lagos.)

In a statement made available to newsmen, MTN said it was honoured to host the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami; the Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, and the Chairman, the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Garba Danbatta; House of Representatives, Committee on Communications, Honourable Akeem Adeyemi at the launch event, without whom the demo would not have been possible.

“This immersive demo and experience will travel across three Nigerian cities to showcase the capabilities of 5G and its potential to enable economic growth, and social inclusion”, the statement added.

The telecom giant explained that “by working together, MTN and its partner – Huawei – were able to provide a glimpse into a range of 5G use cases and applications at a test Lab designed to show proof-of-concept in Abuja. Standing alongside former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, attendees got to match their skills against an artificial-intelligence powered goalie; immerse themselves in a high-speed, low-latency virtual reality gaming world; experience ultra-high speed streaming and downloads on 5G devices; and engage in discourse with life-like holographic projections.

I smell lies. Even the so called 4g is the regular 3.5g in some countries. Nigerians 5g will still be the 3.75g not even 4g self of some countries.

MTN only carried out 5G Trial/Demo. There is no plan for deployment yet. If you know how expensive it is to deploy 5G, then you would know that no Service provider in Nigeria is ready for it just yet.

you wont see 5g until atleast 2025 and at that time self, it will just be a one or two networks announcing it in some porshe area like lekki or banana island where it will stay for another 2-5 years. grin
