Abuja: NCC blames network disruptions on diesel supply

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has blamed the recent network distributions on diesel supply to IHS Nigeria Limited.
The head of public affairs, NCC, Nnenna Ukoha, said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
IHS is a major independent owner, operator, and developer of shared telecommunications infrastructure (like cell towers) for mobile networks, primarily in emerging markets across Africa.
Ms Ukoha said that the commission was aware of the Quality of Service (QoS) and challenges currently being experienced by telecommunications subscribers in some parts of Abuja.
She said that the interruption was linked to ongoing activities by the National Oil and Gas Suppliers Association (NOGASA), which have impacted the delivery of diesel to critical telecommunications sites.
She said that the commission was currently taking proactive steps to facilitate dialogues between the impacted service providers and other stakeholders to promptly resolve the diesel supply concerns that have negatively impacted service quality.
“We understand the inconvenience caused by these service disruptions.
“We wish to reassure the public that the commission, working with the relevant government agencies and affected operators, is taking decisive steps to restore normal service levels as quickly as possible.
“We remain dedicated to effectively managing the situation and will keep the public updated on progress towards restoring full telecommunication services in Abuja.
“We thank telecommunications subscribers for their understanding and patience during this period, and reaffirm our commitment to enabling high-quality telecommunications services nationwide,” she said.
