Six regions regain full telecom services after triple fibre cuts - Sam George

All telecommunications services affected by multiple fibre cuts across the Northern and Oti regions have been fully restored, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced.

In a post on X sighted by GhanaWeb Business, the Minister said optimum service had resumed at all affected sites following efforts by engineering teams from MTN Ghana, Telecel Ghana and the National Information Technology Agency (NITA).

“I am happy to report that the cuts have been fully restored and optimum service has resumed to all affected sites in the 6 Regions,” he stated.

The restoration follows a triple fibre cut that disrupted telecommunications services across the five northern regions and parts of the Oti Region.

The cuts occurred on three separate fibre routes. The Kintampo–Buipe route, on the MTN section, recorded multiple cuts, while the Wakawaka–Bamboi route, on the Telecel section, was also affected.

The Hohoe–Jasikan route, on the NITA section, also recorded a cut.

The disruptions affected 694 2G and 3G sites and 521 4G sites, which experienced either service denial or significant degradation.

The Minister said teams from the three operators were dispatched to identify the causes of the cuts and restore services under the supervision of the National Communications Authority (NCA).

Kudos to the Engineers who put in a remarkable shift to get us back online quickly.
