Just In : Voice, internet data services restored in Nigeria – NCC

The voice and data services impacted by the cable outages have been restored, according to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
In a statement released today in Abuja, Dr. Reuben Muoka, the Director of Public Affairs at NCC, made this claim.
After being disrupted on March 14 due to cuts in undersea fibre optics on the coasts of Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire, Muoka stated that services had been restored, according to NAN.

He declared, “We are happy to report that services have now been restored to roughly 90% of their peak utilisation capacities.”
According to Muoka, every operator affected by the cuts had obtained recovery capacity from submarine cables that were unaffected.
As per his statement, mobile network providers (MNOs) have assured the commission that data and voice services will operate optimally, pending full repairs of the undersea cables.
He said that the MNOs had managed to activate alternative connectivities to bring the situation back to normalcy.
“We extend our appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre,” he said.
