The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Monday announced the restoration of Voice and Data Services to approximately 90% of its peak utilization capacities which was affected by disruption, due to cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal, on March 14, 2024.
According to NCC in a press statement made available to newsmen by Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs of the Commission, 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 also informed that the 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.
NCC therefore extend its appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
