MTN Mobile Network blackout hits subscribers in Nigeria.
Nigerian Newssphere gathered that subscribers of MTN Nigeria suffered a network outage since 11:30 am on Wednesday.
Subscribers lament their inability to make voice calls and other mobile network services with their MTN lines.
Etienno Eloma, a subscriber of MTN, said she had lost several business opportunities due to the network blackout.
Despite the sorry situation with its network, he lamented that MTN has yet to issue an apology.
“I have lost several businesses due to the network outage on my MTN line without a prior network. Worse, MTN has remained mum over the situation”, she said.
Sunday Bernard, a resident of Abuja, said there is also a network blackout in Airtel.
He explained that he has not been able to use his Airtel line for voice calls and data since noon on Wednesday.
When our correspondent exclusively spoke with the National President of Telecoms, Mr Adeolu Ogunbanjo, he said the situation is pathetic.
“It is surprising that at this time and day, such a network blackout in the telecoms sector. It is not the first, though. It is only in Nigeria things like this happen without necessary punishment or sanction”, he said.
Efforts to speak with the Spokesperson of Media, Funso Aina, were unsuccessful when filing the report.
