Nigerian Communications Commission admits quality of service challenges in Abuja
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has acknowledged the Quality of Service (QoS) challenges being experienced in Abuja, which have impacted the quality of experience of telecommunications subscribers.
Penpushing reports this was contained in a statement by Head, Public Affairs of the commission Mrs. Nnenna Ukoha, explaining that in response, the commission is collaborating with major stakeholders and licensees to address these challenges, largely caused by disruption to diesel supply affecting IHS Nigeria Limited, the colocation provider responsible for powering Airtel and MTN base stations in the affected areas.
The statement explained that the challenges are a result of 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.
Penpushing further reports that Ukoha added that the commission is committed to ensuring seamless communication services for all Nigerians and recognizes the importance of reliable power supply for the provision of optimal telecommunication services.
The statement stated that the commission is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to address the diesel supply issues and explore sustainable solutions and urged all parties to work together to collaboratively resolve these challenges swiftly by removing the diesel supply bottlenecks affecting critical telecommunications infrastructure, arising from National Oil and Gas Suppliers Association (NOGASA) actions.
‘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’, Ukoha wrote
Penpushing also reports that the statement said 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’.
