The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced that data and voice services affected by undersea cable cuts has been restored.
It would be recall that there was a disruption in network service 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 which affected communication services in Nigeria and other countries.
Meanwhile, the Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka in a recent statement made available to Leading Reporters has confirmed that services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
According to Muoka 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.
He noted 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.
