The Nigerian Communications Commission NCC has entered into a strategic partnership with Swedfund, Sweden's Development Finance Institution, to enhance the security, reliability, and resilience of Nigeria's fifth generation 5G mobile networks.
The collaboration is anchored on a grant agreement designed to support the development of a risk-based cybersecurity framework that ensures Nigeria's 5G and future network systems are designed, deployed, and operated securely.
As Nigeria continues to scale its 5G infrastructure-offering faster speeds, lower latency, and support for millions of connected devices-the NCC emphasized that maintaining security and public trust remains a top priority. The initiative seeks to safeguard national interests while reinforcing confidence in the country's expanding digital ecosystem.
