The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has announced the restoration of data and voice services affected by undersea cable cuts along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal recently.
The restoration, NCC, said had been to approximately 90 per cent of their peak utilization capacities.
In a statement by its Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, the NCC stated that “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.”
It added 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.”
The NCC extended appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
