NCC has announced that voice, data services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says voice and data services affected by undersea cable cuts along the Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal coasts have been restored.
Reuben Muoka, NCC Director of Public Affairs in a statement issued on Monday, said that services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
“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, we are pleased to announce that services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities,” the statement read.
“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 NCC spokesperson added that 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 Commission, however, thanked telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
