9mobile has apologised for the recent service outages experienced by its customers which has affected their ability to provide voice, data, internet services.
In a statement by the network, it stated: We understand the frustration these disruptions have caused and deeply regret the inconvenience.
“Our technical team has identified the root causes of the outages including a fire incident at our Main Data Centre in Lagos last night which severely impacted services especially in the Lagos and South-West.
“We are grateful for the swift intervention of the Lagos State Fire Service, which helped prevent further damage,”
The telecom operator said that, prior to the fire incident, its network experienced major fibre interruptions leading to varying degrees of outages.
9mobile had a fibre cut on the backbone links in Lagos which led to a total data outage across the country.
This was followed closely by two vandalism incidents in Lagos and Abuja, leading to total service outage in South-West and data service outage in the North. Services have now been fully restored in the North & South-South States while restorations work is ongoing in others. We expect to fully restore services as soon as possible
