The experts gave the advice at a 5G Health Symposium webinar organized by the Nigerian Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (NIEEE) on Saturday.
On controversies around 5G and radiation from antennas, the experts said 5G mobile technology was faster and safer and used less oxidation and energy, making it safer than its predecessors.
Mr. Bako Wakil, Director, Technical Standards and Network Integrity, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), said Nigeria had no 5G technology at the moment and stressed the need for policy formulation towards its adoption.
“In NCC we have been measuring and assessing base station radiations. All equipment coming into Nigeria is allowed after they are certified.
“Radiation coming from mobile base stations or mobile sets are not harmful. We should as a country have a policy, 5G is going to transform our people and country.
“We have been carrying out measurements of 5G radiations at NCC and it is safe. Although it is safe, it is important to adopt safety measures, even water, if not properly used can harm you.
