Telecommunications company MTN Nigeria has explained that the network outage experienced by its subscribers for the major part of Wednesday was caused by “multiple fibre cuts”.
Many subscribers were stranded with some persons visiting MTN offices nearest to them to get explanations while others expressed their frustrations on social media.
However, MTN, in a post on X, attributed the situation to “multiple fibre cuts”.
“You have been experiencing challenges connecting to the network due to a major service outage caused by multiple fibre cuts affecting voice and data services,” the post read.
“Our engineers are working hard to resolve with services gradually being restored in some areas.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and ask for your patience and understanding as the team works to restore full service as soon as possible.”
