The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has urged major stakeholders and licensees to join hands in tackling the diesel supply bottlenecks affecting critical telecommunications infrastructure, arising from the activities of the National Oil and Gas Suppliers Association (NOGASA), which disrupted diesel supplies to sites with the attendant telecommunications services outages in Abuja.
A statement signed by Mrs. Nnenna Ukoha, Head, Public Affairs, said the NCC is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to address the diesel supply issues and explore sustainable solutions.
“In the face of these challenges, we reiterate our commitment to fostering a conducive environment for the growth and sustainability of telecommunications services in Nigeria. We are 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.
“The Commission remains 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 delivering high-quality telecommunications services nationwide,” she added.
