Nigeria embraces the future with 6G technology adoption
Nigeria has officially committed to adopting Sixth Generation Technology (6G) by signing a global Act for the adoption of 6G at the World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC) 2023.
Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovations, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, signed the agreement at WRC 2023, signifying Nigeria's commitment to embracing emerging technologies and actively participating in the international arena for telecommunications development.
The conference, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations-affiliated international organization, is held every three to four years to discuss and set the agenda for global telecommunications.
The agreement signed by Nigeria includes new and revised provisions of the Radio Regulations, an international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits, local media Vanguard reported.
“The updated Radio Regulations identify new spectrum resources that will support technological innovation, deepen global connectivity, and enhance safety across air, sea, and land, local media Vanguard quoted Reuben Muoka, the Public Affairs Director of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) as saying.

“The conference also identified new frequencies for non-geostationary fixed-satellite service Earth Stations in Motion (ESIMs) that would provide high-speed broadband onboard aircraft, vessels, trains, and vehicles,” he added.
6G technology adoption in Nigeria means equitable access to advanced telecommunications services and service quality for all Nigerians even those in the rural areas.
