MTN Nigeria has expressed readiness to launch the Fifth-Generation (5G) network on Wednesday, in line with the timeline put in place by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The second winner, Mafab Communications Limited, has, however, been granted a five-month extension to roll out over delays in obtaining its unified operational licence (USAL) and Numbering Plan from the Commission.
NCC handed the August 24 roll-out date to both MTN and Mafab Communications, after both emerged winners of the 3.5GHz spectrum licence.
