STAKEHOLDERS in the Nigerian telecommunications sector are set to gather to discuss how to implement the national policy on fifth-generation technology in Nigeria in order to induce socio-economic growth.
The forum, themed ‘Ascertaining Full Readiness to Make 5G Work in Nigeria’, is being organised by Business Metrics Nigeria through its Policy Implementation Assisted Forum.
In a statement, the organisers said the conversation would be led by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, and would have the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Professor Umar Danbatta, in attendance.
Speaking on the forum, the Lead Executive, PIAFo and Managing Editor, Business Metrics Nigeria, Omobayo Azeez, was quoted as saying, “The socio-economic benefits of 5G is enormous and every serious country will not only be interested in deploying the network but to also try to get it right.
“Since Nigeria is now leading other West African countries in the 5G race, we cannot afford any try and error.
