The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has released a draft National Spectrum Roadmap outlining its regulatory vision for the management and allocation of radio frequency spectrum between 2025 and 2030.

The document which was issued pursuant to the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 provides a strategic framework for planning spectrum resources in line with Nigeria’s broadband, digital economy and innovation objectives.

The Commission emphasised that the roadmap is a consultative document and does not constitute legal, investment, or licensing advice.

According to the NCC, the roadmap is intended to enhance regulatory predictability, promote efficient spectrum utilisation, and align national policy with international best practices as demand for wireless services continue to grow.

The Commission has invited submissions from operators, government agencies, broadcasters, satellite service providers, equipment manufacturers, and other stakeholders, noting that feedback received during the consultation process will inform the final policy direction.
