The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that 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.
The NCC further said that, the data and voice services were restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
According to a statement signed by NCC’s Director, Public Affairs, Mr. Reuben Mouka, “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.
“We extend our appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts’, he added.
