The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has unveiled the National Spectrum Roadmap 2026–2030, a major policy framework aimed at accelerating Nigeria’s journey towards faster, more inclusive, and reliable digital connectivity.
The Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, announced the roadmap on Monday at a stakeholders’ consultation forum in Abuja.
He said the initiative, alongside new guidelines for opening the lower 6GHz and 60GHz licence-exempt bands, would unlock additional capacity for high-speed and affordable broadband services across the country.
“Our national ambitions are growing. We want faster speeds, wider coverage, better service quality, stronger innovation, and greater inclusion. This roadmap provides a transparent and predictable regulatory environment that supports investment, encourages innovation, expands access, and improves service quality for all Nigerians,”Dr. Maida said.
The EVC,who was represented at the forum by the Head of Spectrum Administration, Atiku Lawal, underscored the critical role of spectrum in Nigeria’s digital ecosystem.
He noted that although invisible, spectrum remains the backbone of mobile networks, broadband services, satellite communications, emergency systems, and emerging smart technologies.
He said:“Every video call, online classroom, digital transaction, and connected device in Nigeria depends on spectrum.
“With this roadmap, we are preparing the country to meet future data demands across homes, campuses, businesses, healthcare facilities, and public spaces.”
Also speaking at the forum, the Executive Commissioner for Technical Services, Abraham Oshadami, stressed that spectrum resources must be deployed in a way that benefits every community, adding that the expansion of wireless broadband must align with Nigeria’s broader national development objectives.
Describing the roadmap as more than a technical document, Atiku Lawal said it represents a strategic blueprint for driving Nigeria’s digital transformation.
In her contribution, Dr. Lola Fafore of Huawei Nigeria expressed optimism that the initiative would stimulate innovation, deepen broadband penetration, and make a significant contribution to national economic growth.
The two-day stakeholders’ forum is expected to further shape policy decisions under the Spectrum Roadmap 2026–2030, positioning Nigeria to harness next-generation wireless technologies and strengthen its standing in the global digital economy.
