The Commission, which spoke in a statement issued by Henry Nkemadu, Director, Public Affairs, described claims that 5G technology was responsible for the disease as misleading.
NCC also stressed that 5G technology has not been deployed in Nigeria.
Parts of the statement read, “There is no correlation between 5G technology and COVID-19.
“5G is an advancement on today’s 4G technology designed to transform the world positively.
“There is no deployment of 5G in Nigeria at the moment.”
The NCC back in November 2019 approved trial test for 5G for a period of three months and that the trial has been concluded and installation decommissioned.
“The trial among others was to study and observe any health or security challenges the 5G network might present.
“Relevant stakeholders including members of the security agencies were invited to participate during the trial.”
