The statement read, “MAFAB Communications is one of the two successful companies that obtained a 5G License during the highly transparent 5G Auction conducted by the Commission on December 13, 2021. After fulfilling the payment requirement of $273.6 million in February 2022, the company officially received the license on February 22, 2022.”

The NCC emphasized that MAFAB had publicly launched its 5G services in Abuja on January 24, 2023, and in Lagos on January 26, 2023, targeting six cities, including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, and Kaduna.

The Commission stated that it has been closely monitoring MAFAB’s rollout progress and has been regularly updated on the status of infrastructure deployment to provide the promised services as specified in their operating license.

NCC urged the public and stakeholders to disregard the false and misleading information regarding MAFAB’s 5G network rollout.
