The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has announced the restoration of data and voice services which were disrupted since March 14, 2024, due to a cut in the undersea fibre optics along the coast of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal.
A statement by the director of public affairs of NCC, Reuben Muoka, said, “Services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.”
He said in the statement that “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.
“Mobile Network Operators have assured the Commission 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.
Muoka thanked telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
