The Federal Executive Council (FEC) in its 18th virtual meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, has approved the sum of N653,886,584 to procure and deploy a hybrid spectrum monitoring system that will cover the southern part of the country, particularly the South East.
The Communications and Digital Economy Minister, Dr Isa Pantami disclosed this while speaking to the State House Correspondents in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said that the investigation carried out in the five geo-political zones revealed that out of the 320 frequencies discovered, 106 were illegal and according to the advise of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, the illegal frequencies owners will be prosecuted. Speaking further, Pantami said the illegal frequencies are very worrisome because their usage will compromise our security and safety in the country, hence the need to deploy the hybrid spectrum monitoring system.
