MTN Announces Temporary Network Disruption Across 15 Local Government Areas in Nigeria

Telecom giant MTN Nigeria has announced that some of its users will experience temporary network disruptions as the company carries out fiber maintenance work.

In a statement, MTN disclosed that the disruption will affect 101 sites across 15 local government areas in Adamawa, Borno, and Kano States.

The maintenance involves switching traffic to a newly installed fiber infrastructure along the AFCOT–Bawo Village route in Adamawa State.

The company explained that the exercise will take place between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., and services across 2G, 3G, and 4G networks will be impacted during that period.

The affected areas include: Adamawa State: Girei, Song, Mubi North, Hong, Gombi, Fufore, Mubi South, Madagali, Michika, Maiha, Chibok, and Yola North LGAs

Borno State: Askira/UBA and Shani LGAs

Kano State: Nasarawa LGA

In a statement, they wrote: “Due to the linear and unprotected nature of the route, services will be interrupted during the maintenance window. The work will be carried out during daylight hours for security reasons,”
