The National Communications Authority (NCA) has provided assurance that the faulty undersea cables, which have caused Internet disruptions in Ghana and other African countries, will be fully restored within the next five weeks.
In a statement released on Saturday following a face-to-face meeting with the four subsea cable landing service providers (ACE, MainOne, SAT-3, and WACS), the Authority shared this update.
Representatives from three mobile network operators – AirtelTigo, MTN, and Telecel – were also present at the meeting.

The NCA revealed that the four subsea cable landing service providers have remotely identified the approximate locations of the damage and have taken steps to dispatch repair vessels to assess and restore the cables.
“Based on the above, the subsea cable landing service providers have indicated an estimated time frame of a minimum of five (5) weeks for full service restoration from the time the vessels are dispatched to the various locations,” stated the NCA.
