The Nigerian Communications Commission says the trial of the fifth generation mobile network shows that there is no health hazard associated with the use of the technology.

The commission in a draft consultation document on Deployment of Fifth Generation Mobile Technology in Nigeria published on Monday stated that the trial was conducted in six cities – Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Kano and Calabar.

The regulatory body said the tests were conducted in accordance with the 1998 International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines for general public exposure to varying electromagnetic fields, which were in force at the time of the trials.

It said the results of EMF radiation indicated that the highest radiation at 26 GHz millimeter wave at 5m away from source was 4.3 per cent and at 30m from the source was 0.14 per cent.

It added that the highest radiation at 3.5 GHz at 5m away from the source was 11.4 per cent and at 30m away from the source was 1.9 per cent of ICNIRP specification of 61 v/m for frequency range 2-300 GHz.
These results are far below the ICNIRP specification for protection of of the public in the Guidelines and therefore suggest that no public health hazards are expected from the use of 5G in Nigeria,” the NCC said.

The telecoms regulator stated that the deployment of the new network in the country would be done in two phases.

It said the phase one, which involves deployment based on the non-standalone approach, would commence in 2021.

According to the NCC, the phase two based on the stand-alone approach, which relies on new spectrum allocations, will commence in 2022.

“The current race to deploy 5G networks is targeted at providing citizens with the benefits of the technology while at the same time enabling the activation of the digital economy,” it said.

“The current race to deploy 5G networks is targeted at providing citizens with the benefits of the technology while at the same time enabling the activation of the digital economy,” it said.

The regulatory body said ‘5G network deployment will rely on the availability of sufficient radio spectrum at the low, medium and high-frequency bands to provide for the different use cases and applications’.

“While some of these frequencies will be newly assigned for 5G network deployment, others will have to be re-farmed from other existing communication services,” it added.

The commission said 24.25-27.5 GHz, 37-43.5 GHz, 45.5-47 GHz, 47.2-48.2 GHz, and 66-71 GHz were globally recognised spectrum bands for 5G deployment.

It said the bands were available and not assigned to operators at the moment except the 26 GHz band, where an operator currently had an assignment of two slots of 2 X 28 MHz each in the old plan.

The industry regulator promised that the operator would be vacated and the band licensed based on the new TDD plan.

I'm tired of this frikkin' 4G/LTE shit!

Pastor Chris how market?

Good, it is much expected, I can't wait to use 5G network. Any conspiracy theorist can go hug transformer, useless people. What's the use of your going to school?

Pastor arguing against science, what does he know? He should keep to his pastoral work and let scientists face science.

This is the same way the church have prosecuted, kill and burn alive early scientists and philosophers.

Did you do any research to have come to this conclusion or you are just following the bandwagon

BOOZELEE:
Fools

But u guys denied bringing 5g to Nigeria during the lockdown when people were complaining.Why are u guys telling us now everyone seem to have forgotten the 5g matter?

Its suspicious.

5G has not been deployed yet. They didn't tell you about the deployment date then because they don't want you to go on a looting, burning and killing spree. They know how gullible and fragile many of you are when presented with fake news.

Hehehe, una want give oyakhilome something to preach about

5g For Good And Evil

BOOZELEE:
Fools

Its suspicious.

The world is talking of 6G now. Don't be fooled by Chris Oyakhilome conspiracy theories.

una dey test pastor Chris ba ?

it's a shame that some acclaimed literates believe in this 5G conspiracy theory, even the educated ones, well education in Nigeria na for both literate and illiterate.


you can hardly separate Nigeria educated and uneducated except of good English speaking and writing which is not a test of knowledge. some road side mechanic easily make use of their brain than some fools that spend 4-5yrs in sch

They should be quick with it,men is tired of this 4G

Afamed:

The world is talking of 6G now. Don't be fooled by Chris Oyaklome conspiracy theories.

5g,6g or 7g oo,me I don't care.

My anger is why did they deny every thing at the onset.As if they are hiding a skeleton in there cupboard.

Fool.

Lolz...me that I'm still rocking 3G

Meanwhile, Guys who are interested in growing their beard can chat me up, I will deliver beard oil to your preferred location within Lagos and Abuja, payment on delivery (Lagos and Abuja only please)

This is the modern technology some prominent people especially so called god of men were denouncing as evil while some nations are already on 6G network? God save the world.

Pastor Chris Oyakilome and his Gullible followers would soon start spilling rubbish.

5g.....lol.....me that I'm already using 7g.....

China is already testing 6G. Wahala for Pastor Chris

please I need a partner in farming pepper, okro, and ugu leaf here in lagos, i did got a land with borehole already but no funds to continue.
so there is water available there. I need to go back and complete this great task, a budget of 60-75k will do.
please do call me on 09032884494

thanks and God bless!

BigBabyJesus:


Fool.

Look at your name, who is the fool here?

Make dem dey dia make pant dey wear dem. They are still checking health hazards of 5G while China just launched their 6G satellite into space recently �️. Tell me one thing? So life is too precious to Nigeria while China and other countries on 5G don't value their own life?

Welcome dev.

Nah person wey no dey current or wey no be science student go say 5G is hazardous

Cheap data plan needed

the same pastors shouting conspiracy will end up streaming their services on 5G after launch. How pathetic

Nigerians
