The engagement focused on Nigeria’s forward-looking Spectrum Roadmap (2026–2030), alongside new guidelines for the deployment of the 60GHz band for multi-gigabit wireless systems and the lower portion of the 6GHz band for Wi-Fi 6—critical enablers for faster broadband, enterprise connectivity and next-generation digital services.
Held at the Communications and Digital Economy Complex, NCC Annex Office, Mbora, FCT, the forum underscored the regulator’s push to align spectrum policy with innovation, investment and global best practices, while balancing efficiency, competition and consumer outcomes.
