Abstract

Nigeria has proposed to join the league of countries which have deployed 5G wireless network technology for communication purposes by 2022 and has already granted licences to two network providers to deploy same. Despite this bold commitment there are some hurdles which must be surmounted before this deployment can be feasible. Similar challenges have delayed the smooth roll out of this technology in other countries. This paper examines some of these challenges and proposes solutions. It also highlights some of the key benefits of 5G to Nigeria’s social and economic development. A review of the existing mobile communications network in Nigeria was done using data sourced from the regulatory authorities as well as a study of related literature and steps taken by countries which have already deployed similar technology in order to provide suggestions on how the deployment and implementation of 5G in Nigeria can be successful and impactful on the nation and her citizens.
