The Nigeria Communication Commission, NCC, has announced the 90% restoration of the peak utilization capacities of the undersea fiber optics along the coasts of Cote D’Ivoire and Senegal which was disrupted on March 14, 2024.
NCC said that all operators who were impacted by the cuts have taken recovery capacity from submarine cables which were not impacted by the cuts.
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 back the situation to normalcy.
Following the new development, the NCC however expressed its appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fiber cuts.
