…Telcos, banks hit
Telecommunications companies and banks in Nigeria have been hit by an internet outage as a result of damage to international undersea cables supplying them with connectivity.
It was gathered that the damage affected major undersea cables near Abidjan in Cte dIvoire and are causing downtime across West and South African countries.
The West Africa Cable System (WACS), the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE), Main One, and SAT-3 cables are affected.
Some bank networks in Nigeria have been down and unable to process transactions as a result of the internet outage. Similarly, telecom subscribers, especially, those of MTN, have also been complaining of poor data experience since yesterday morning.
