MTN faces internet outages and slow network issues in West Africa. Find out why the disruption is causing chaos and frustration for users!

MTN, the giant telecommunications provider in Africa, is currently grappling with disrupted services in several West African countries. The chaos stems from damaged undersea cables, causing internet outages and slow network issues for users. The situation has led to frustration among consumers and businesses relying on MTN's services. Despite ongoing repair processes, the impact of the connectivity disruptions persists. Bayobab Group has also acknowledged the connectivity disruptions affecting several West African countries due to breaks in major undersea cables.

In a positive development, MTN Nigeria has received the EDGE MOVE certification for Gender Inclusion. This recognition highlights the company's commitment to economic dividends for gender equality. On the flip side, MTN Nigeria and other network operators are facing challenges due to the undersea cable damage, leading to internet outages across Nigeria and Ghana. The disruptions have affected not only telecommunications services but also banking operations in the region.

MTN Ghana issued an apology to subscribers for the internet connectivity issues, stating that technical teams are collaborating with international partners to resolve the disruption. Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) expressed regret for the internet disruption experienced by consumers across East and West Africa. The repair process is ongoing as MTN and other operators work tirelessly to restore full connectivity for users in the affected regions.
