The fifth-Generation (5G) mobile network is live and working in Nigeria, with MTN becoming the first telecommunications provider in the country to launch the much anticipated mobile network in the country.
Already, clients of MTN with eligible devices can now try out the 5G network where coverage is available. If you see a 5G signal icon on the top right of your phone or router then it means you are part of the 5G innovation by MTN.
MTN 5G: Zones Availability and Activation Steps
The 5G innovation by MTN is presently live in about 191 zones and more are gradually added to their 5G Zones in Nigeria including Anambra, Borno, Delta, Edo, Imo, Kano, Rivers, Oyo, and Lagos States, and the FCT.
According to some sources in contact with us, We’ve got reports that the MTN 5G internet speeds range from about 150MB to 1GB per second in a good network atmosphere which is quite faster and better than the 4G and 3G Counterparts.

We believe MTN Nigeria would roll out MTN 5G Coverage to other states pending the time delay might be due to no infrastructures to power the Fifth-generation coverage.
How to benefit from the MTN 5G Coverage in Nigeria
There are two major ways to enjoy this MTN 5G coverage in Nigeria:
- MTN 5G router,
- 5G Compatible Device and MTN SIM Card (Must have been upgraded to 4G)
MTN 5G Router
The MTN 5G router is the one of options for everyone to access 5G in Nigeria. Users can buy the device from MTN’s website which cost about 50000 Naira (approximately $100) and if they’re within a 5G zone, they can use any device to connect to the 5G network through WiFi.
However, some testers of this MTN 5G router noted varying speed experiences. On a 5G-compatible device, the user experienced an internet speed of over 1024 Mbps while another user on an older device model which doesn’t support 5G recorded a reduced speed of about 50Mbps. According to MTN Nigeria, a device model and Specification could affect the internet Speed.
Some Of The Offers of an MTN 5G Router include
- Upto 32 Devices can connect
- Wide Wi-Fi Connection Range
- Free 100GB Data on Activation
5G Compatible Device.
5G-compatible devices are built with Fifth-generation network technology, facilitating them to access 5G networks when available. Companies like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Nokia, Huwaei even Transsion (Tecno & Infinix) have started producing devices that are 5G compatible to help support this Fifth-generation broadband.
5G enablement is the backend integration of the phone models into the MTN 5G network, enabling these phones to access the MTN 5G services within the accredited zones nationwide. MTN is presently working on integrating some other phones into its 5G network, which simply implies that users of some of these devices may not yet be able to access the 5G network fully or partially via their sim cards and phones directly.
