The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC says data and voice services affected by the cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal, have been restored.
According to NCC, services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
Recall that on March 14, 2024, many banks, telecommunication companies and their subscribers experienced downturn following a cut in underground fibre optic cables that service Nigeria and other African countries.
Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs of NCC in a statement said 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 said
