The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says voice and data services affected by undersea cable cuts along the Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal coasts have been restored.

In a statement, the NCC Director of Public Affairs, RUEBEN MUOKA, said that services have now been restored to approximately 90 per cent of their peak utilization capacities.

MOUKA said all 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 connectivity to bring back the situation to normalcy.

The Commission appreciated telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
