MTN Corporate Services Executive, Mr. Wale Goodluck, in a statement in Lagos, said the company’s engineers were already battling to restore service quality to acceptable levels following the massive attack on the company’s extensive fibre network.
According to him, the fibre network was violated in seven locations namely, between Port Harcourt and Eket, Kano and Zaria, Abuja and Akwanga, Asaba and Owerri, Ahoada and Port Harcourt, Benin and Owo and finally, between Ikeji and Owo.
“To put matters in perspective, MTN on average suffers more than 70 fibre cuts in various locations across the country every month, but this is most unusual in terms of the spread and the coordination. It is almost as if it is a deliberate act targeted at disrupting service delivery” said Goodluck.
