Operators restore services after repair of Undersea Cable

 The telecommunications disruption caused by cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal, which affected data and voice services, has been restored to approximately 90 per cent of their peak utilization capacities. The problem is expected to be totally rectified by end of today.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), in a statement by Reuben Muoka, director of public affairs, said 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 utilisation capacities.

Muoka said 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.
