South Africa received 5G first in 2019 through a humble rollout by provider Rain, while Kenya saw Safaricom launch its first 5G services in March 2021. The NCC held its first 5G spectrum auction in December 2021, where MTN and Mafab Communications were awarded licenses.

The Guardian Newspaper’s Immature Editorial, By Garba Shehu
The newspaper editors clearly do not like the way the President is running the country and therefore they believe he should be impeached. They debase both the political discourse of our nation and public understanding of the law and constitution by doing so. It’s a not a process undertaken against a leader whose politics you do not agree with, or who you personally dislike. For the benefit of the ones who have forgotten, the Guardian newspaper has in the past, been worshipped as the flagship of the nation’s press; the one that had won every “Newspaper of the Year” awards. The Guardian newspaper may never be friend or ally of President Buhari, but they should know better than to support this “headline-grabbing stunt.”Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media and Publicity) August 23, 2022Share this:TweetTelegramPrintWhatsApp
