As the telecoms sector regulatory Commission presses forward on the next round of the exercise, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced the adoption and publication of the final  Information Memorandum (IM) to guide the upcoming auction of the remaining lots of 2 x 100MHz in the 3.5 Gigahertz (GHz) Spectrum for the deployment of Fifth Generation (5G) services in the West African country.

ConsumerConnect had reported the Commission earlier published a draft IM and requested stakeholders to make comments and inputs into the document to enrich its contents.

Subsequently, the NCC collated stakeholders’ comments discussed at a recent stakeholder engagement forum on the same subject, which the Commission hosted Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at Marriot Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos State.
