The Nigerian Communications Commission has announced in a statement that voice, and data services affected by undersea cable cuts have been reinstated.
Reuben Muoka, NCC Director of Public Affairs disclosed that services have now been restored to around 90 per cent of their peak capacities.
Recall that banks’ services and telecommunications networks were disrupted due to the cuts in subsea cables less than a week ago.
Speaking, Muoka said, “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.”
“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.”
