“We are joining an elite league of countries in Africa and the world who’ve launched 5G technology. The future is innovation and this is a good step. Through TCRA Tanzania is embarking on great digital development projects such as constructing the National Fibre Optic Cable network named as National ICT Broadband Backbone (NICTBB) with a view to achieve greater connectivity across the country and beyond,” said Nape.
The minister added that technology and human spirit can create a better future for Tanzania. “This is going to be a game changer for our country. Botswana, Egypt, Gabon, Lesotho, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Kenya and Nigeria all launched 5G before us, but now we are also on the platform, and it is a big step forward.
Such a milestone manifests the benefits of our IT policies. We want to turn Tanzania into a digital economy and change lives through technology.
Today the world is led by innovation through AI, internet of things, robotics, and I want Tanzania to play a part in these advancements,” said Nape.
On May 20 when tabling his ministry’s budget Nape said Tanzania will launch 5G this financial year, “I thank Vodacom Tanzania for making this a reality,” he said.
