    Ministry Reacts to Deployment of Hybrid  Spectrum In South-East

    Ministry Reacts to Deployment of Hybrid  Spectrum In South-East

    The attention of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy has been drawn to the misrepresentation of the approval granted to the Ministry to purchase and deploy Radio Spectrum Monitoring Equipment to the South-East Geo-political Zone of the Country.

    2      The issues raised by some of the socio-cultural organizations to the approval granted for the procurement of the Hybrid Mobile Radio Spectrum Monitoring Equipment are that:

    a)     the approval was intended to monitor illegal radio communications in the South-East Zone..

    b)     the purpose was to curb the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in order to monitor and shut down their communication.

    c)     the amount approved is a humongous sum of N654 Billion.

    3.     All the issues raised in Paragraph 2 above are false and a complete misrepresentation of the facts.

    4.     There is the need to state the facts as follows:

    i)      Radio Spectrum Frequency is a scarce natural resource of a country and is allocated after payment of fees for use by individuals, Corporate and Government organisations including security agencies after the application and approval by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy. This is done after the payment of relevant fees.

    ii)      The Licence is renewable every year.

    iii)     To ensure compliance by users of assigned frequencies, the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy obtained an approval in 2017 to acquire five (5) Radio Spectrum Monitoring Equipment and two (2) Denial of Service Equipment.

    iv)     The five (5) Radio Spectrum Monitoring Equipment were deployed to monitor the whole Country as follows:

     

    Azare        –       to cover Bauchi, Borno, Kano, Jigawa, Adamawa,

    Taraba, Gombe and Yobe States

            Gusau       –       to cover Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Kwara, Katsina

    and Kaduna States.

            Ogoja        –       to cover Cross River, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi,

    Benue, Enugu, Abia and Imo States.

            Lagos         –       to cover Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti and Osun

    States

            Abuja         –       to cover FCT and  Niger, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kogi,

    Edo, Bayelsa, Anambra and Delta States

    v)     During the Monitoring Exercise, it was discovered that the Abuja and Ogoja Stations were being over stretched as coverage areas was too large for effective and efficient monitoring.

    vi)     Consequently, the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy sought and obtained approval to acquire one (1) additional Hybrid Mobile Radio Spectrum Monitoring System in the sum of N654 Million to be sited in Anambra State to reduce the coverage area for both Abuja and Ogoja Stations. This will reduce Abuja Station coverage and enable Abuja to cover Kwara and Ekiti thereby reducing the coverage areas for Lagos and Gusau Monitoring Stations.

    vii)    These monitoring systems can and will actually detect any un-licenced frequency user. However, any intended user (Individual, Corporate and Government Organisations) is required to apply and obtain Licence to operate within their assigned frequency range without any hindrance. The purpose of the Licence is to avoid the incidence of harmful interferences to duly licenced users.

    viii)   The public may wish to note that the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy does not have the mandate of monitoring radio broadcasting stations and their services.

    ix)     Nothing in the above narration has anything to do with activities of any socio-cultural organisation(s).
