Nigeria is preparing to auction spectrum in the 2.5GHz band to include provision for broadband services, said Ernest Ndukwe, chief executive officer of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), the country’s telecommunications regulator.

“It is our intention to issue spectrum licences in that band because that is the band that is earmarked for broadband infrastructure,” said Ndukwe in Abuja.
