THE Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said voice and data services affected by undersea cable cuts along the Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal coasts have been restored.
According to media reports, in a statement on Monday, the NCC Director of Public Affairs, Rueben Muoka, said that services have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilisation capacities.
According to him, operators who were impacted by the cuts have taken recovery capacity from submarine cables, which were not impacted by the cuts.
The NCC spokesperson said 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.
It then appreciated telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
Recall that since last Thursday, telecommunications subscribers and bank users have been stranded as a subsea cable cut in the Atlantic Ocean offshore Cote D’Ivoire, along the coast of West Africa paralysed digital transactions and internet communications.
