Voice, data services affected by undersea cable cuts restored – NCC

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says the voice and
data services affected by the cable cuts have been restored.

NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Dr Reuben Muoka, stated
this in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

Muoka said that services were restored, following its
disruption on March 14, which affected data and voice services due to cuts in
undersea fibre optics on the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal.

“We are pleased to announce that services have now been
restored to approximately 90 per cent of their peak utilisation capacities,” he
said.

Muoka said that all the operators who were impacted by the
cuts had taken recovery capacity from submarine cables which were not impacted
by the cuts.
