Contrary to reports in some quarters that the 5G is dangerous to humans, the Executive Vice-Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission, Professor Dambata, has a lead all fears. He says the electromagnetic emission from the 5G network has no adverse effect on human health. He added that there is no known scientific evidence to date suggesting that 5G poses any risk to public health and safety. Senator Uluremi Tinobu sought this clarification on the danger or safety of the 5G network at the budget hearing. If this is speaking, I want you to reassure Nigerians about the safety of this 5G and there is concern of particular high risk, extremely damaging malware called flubot. So maybe you can explain on that so that Nigerians will be assured that you know their safety is guaranteed. As for the concerns you know by Nigerians about 5G, we share these concerns and we went to great lands to explain that whereas these concerns you know are justified but the really the facts on the ground you know do not really lend credence to these concerns. One, we have tried to sensitize Nigerians about the safety of the network, I mean of the technology itself, the 5G technology. You know we have sensitized Nigerians even about the spectrum. The 5G spectrum is non-ionizing. You know this is a statement, a categorical statement made by the International Commission for Non-ionizing Radiation Protection where they say the 5G spectrum, the very one we are about to auction is perfectly safe. It is not harmful to human beings. You know and there is no evidence whatsoever, no medical evidence okay from the World Health Organization indicating any correlation between this spectrum and the health of students you know using this service. However the NCC insists on its 97 percent readiness for the implementation of the 5G network in Nigeria.
