5G Technology not responsible for Covid19-NCC.

The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC has debunked the notion that the 5G technology is responsible for the coronavirus pandemic. In a statement in Abuja on Monday, Dr Henry Nkemadu, Director Public Affairs, NCC, said there is no correlation between the 5G technology and Covid-19.

He maintained that the 5G technology is an advancement on today’s 4G technology designed to transform the world positively. Dr Nkemadu informed that there is no deployment of 5G technology in Nigeria as at the moment. “The NCC back in November 2019 approved trial test for 5G for a period of three months and the trial has been concluded and installation decommissioned.

The trial among others was to study and observe any healthy or security challenges the 5G network might present, ” he said. The NCC Director, Public Affairs, added that relevant stakeholders including members of the security agencies participated during the trial. He insisted that the NCC would continue to maintain its policy of technology neutrality and encourage service providers to deploy the best technology that will meet the needs of the society in a secured and friendly manner. Unsubstantiated rumors made the rounds that the 5G technology was responsible for the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus which has since assumed the status of a pandemic.
