The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reported that 90 percent of voice and data services have been reinstated in Nigeria following disruptions caused by cuts in undersea cables.
Reuben Muoka, the Director of Public Affairs at NCC, provided this update in a statement issued on Monday.
“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 per cent of their peak utilization capacities.
“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 per cent of their peak utilization 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 connectivity to bring the situation back to normalcy.
