The MTN telecommunications network is temporarily unavailable. Some subscribers are unable to access their internet via the network, while others are unable to place or receive calls.
This is the outcome of its network difficulty.
In response, MTN stated on Wednesday night that a “major service outage caused by multiple fibre cuts, affecting voice and data services” was the root of the network issue.
The telecommunications company stated that its engineers are putting a lot of effort into finding a solution, with certain places seeing a slow restoration of services.
The network provider said, “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding and patience as the team works to restore full service as soon as possible.”
“On or before February 28, 2024, the Nigerian Communications Commission will once again mandate telecom providers to actively restrict phone users not linked to their national identity numbers.”
Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of the National Communication Commission, gave a speech on Wednesday at the 45th Kaduna International Trade Fair as part of the NCC’s Special Day.
He reiterated that telecom carriers still have until February 28th to block subscribers who haven’t linked their NIN to their SIM.
He continued, “To this end, on or before February 28, 2024, the National Communication Commission has directed all telecommunication operators to bar the phone lines of subscribers whose lines are not linked to their NINs.”
