The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has signed a grant agreement with Swedfund, Sweden’s Development Finance Institution, to enhance the security and reliability of Nigeria’s 5G networks.
Fifth-Generation (5G) mobile technology brings faster speeds, low delays, and supports millions of connected devices. However, it also introduces new security risks due to its complex infrastructure and multiple network vendors.
“Security and trust remain central to Nigeria’s digital future. As 5G supports key sectors such as power, healthcare, transport, and education, this initiative will help strengthen public confidence, protect national interests, and build a safer, more resilient digital economy”, the Commission noted.
