Abstract
No country wants to be left behind in the tech war as there may be far-reaching consequences in military,
health, and well-being, industrial applications, technology, banking, financial services, urbanization, and
other facets of private and national life. For an emergent country like Nigeria, the cost of being left behind
is enormous and may mean the continuous peril of underdevelopment wrought by over-dependence on
other nations for essential services. This paper provides perspectives on sectors where the deployment of
the 5G telecommunication network could be a swift driver of an emergent Nigeria. It also highlights the
particular challenges facing the deployment of the 5G technology in Nigeria. The study adopted the use of
secondary sources to obtain relevant preexisting data to facilitate the research objectives. Restrictions in
movement necessitated this approach to curtail the spread of the Coronavirus. The research findings
revealed the enormous multi-sectorial benefits of deploying the 5G technology in an emergent Nigeria and
the inherent challenges. It is envisaged that the ideas highlighted in the study findings would provide useful
guidance for policy directors in the quest for a better emergent Nigeria
