Business owners in the country have expressed deep concern about the adverse effects of the internet shutdown.
They fear that the prolonged absence of internet connectivity will have disastrous consequences for their operations.
The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced that it will require at least five weeks to completely restore internet connections nationwide.
Since Thursday, March 14, 2024, Mobile Network Operations have faced disruptions due to cuts in undersea fiber optic cables, critical components for internet connectivity in Ghana.
These outages have left numerous Ghanaians without access to the internet.
In a statement, the NCA disclosed that it convened a meeting with all subsea cable landing service providers and the three affected mobile operators on Saturday, March 16.
During this meeting, it was revealed that the service providers have remotely identified the approximate locations of the damage and are mobilizing repair vessels to the affected areas.
The NCA further disclosed that the full restoration of connectivity is estimated to require a minimum of five weeks. It assured the public of its dedication to continued collaboration with relevant stakeholders to ensure the timely completion of the repair work.
These business owners remain unhappy with the situation and are asking for urgent solutions to mitigate the impact on their operations.
