Dr. Toyin Enikuomehin, head of Computer Science Department, Faculty of Science at LASU, who spoke on ‘Understanding the technical framework of the 5G network’ at the 5th LASU virtual public lecture stated emphatically that the latest technology would define better ways of communication, calls, video and audio, including messages in real time.

He added that all the communication services would be faster than the previous ones with the speed 5G brings.
