Triple fibre cuts disrupt telecom services across Northern, Oti regions – Sam George
The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has disclosed that Ghana has suffered simultaneous cuts on three different fibre routes supplying capacity to the five Northern Regions and parts of the Oti Region.
Ghana's Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel George, has reported simultaneous fibre cuts affecting three routes across the Northern and Oti regions. The Kintampo-Buipe line experienced cuts at 0419GMT, the MTN section was impacted at 1136GMT, and the Hohoe-Jasikan route at Telecel suffered a cut at 1125GMT.
The National Information Technology Agency (NITA) teams from MTN Ghana, Telecel Ghana, and NITA are working to determine the cause of the cuts and restore services. These incidents have led to disruption for 694 2G and 3G sites, and 521 4G sites, experiencing service denial or significant degradation. Despite the ongoing impact, George remains optimistic, stating that the National Communications Authority (NCA)-supervised technical teams should have services restored within a few hours.
He extends apologies to customers and residents in the disrupted regions for the inconvenience caused.
