NCC Teams Up with Swedfund to Bolster 5G Network Security in Nigeria
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is taking proactive steps to ensure the secure and reliable operation of its burgeoning 5G networks through a strategic partnership with Swedfund, Sweden’s Development Finance Institution. This collaboration follows a previous initiative in February focused on crowdsourcing quality of experience data for mobile networks, highlighting the NCC’s commitment to continuous improvement.
Securing Nigeria’s 5G Future
The NCC announced the grant agreement with Swedfund, emphasizing its dedication to mitigating potential risks associated with 5G deployment. The core objective is to develop a robust, risk-based framework that guarantees the secure design, deployment, and operation of both current 5G networks and future network systems. This forward-thinking approach aims to prevent manipulation and safeguard the integrity of Nigeria’s 5G infrastructure, maintaining security and public trust. The official announcement was made via the NCC’s X (formerly Twitter) page, coinciding with a grant signing event held at the Swedish embassy in Abuja.
This partnership signifies a crucial investment in the long-term stability and security of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure, positioning the nation for a future where 5G technology can be leveraged safely and effectively for economic growth and societal advancement.
