Abstract

The introduction of 5G wireless mobile networks opens enormous economic prospects for Nigeria's core industries. This research intends to illustrate the potential advantages of 5G in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and education. The study's target population consists of 94 full-time employees of telecommunications companies operating in Nigeria's South-South region. However, the accessible population consists of 385 sample components drawn from 94 MTN, Globacom, Airtel, and 9Mobile locations, based on information given by the Human Resources (HR) Departments of these telecommunications companies. MTN received 118, Globacom received 96, Airtel received 92, and 9Mobile received 79. Data was examined for descriptive statistics using mean and standard deviation using Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS). It was discovered that 5G may promote the creation of new apps and services that can boost efficiency, productivity, and innovation in several areas due to faster speeds, reduced latency, and larger capacity.
