The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said 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 has been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
NCC emphasised 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, a statement on Monday signed by Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs said.
“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”.
The NCC extended its appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
