Following the disruption on March 14, 2024, which affected data and voice services due to cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal, the Nigerian Communications Commission has announced that services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
In a statement issued by NCC’s Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka the Nigerian Communications Commission stated that “Â All operators who were impacted by the cuts have taken recovery capacity from submarine cables which were not impacted by the cuts, and have thus recovered approximately 90% of their peak utilisation capacities.”
The Nigerian Communications Commission gave that Mobile Network Operators the assurance have given their word that data and voice services would operate optimally pending full repairs of the undersea cables as they have managed to activate alternative connectivities to bring back the situation to normalcy.
The Nigerian Communications Commission extended their appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
