Telecommunications giant MTN Nigeria has confirmed a network outage affecting subscribers in parts of Lagos State.
The disruption, which began earlier on Monday, left many customers unable to make calls, send messages, or access mobile data services.
In a brief statement, the company acknowledged the technical fault and assured subscribers that its engineers were working to restore full connectivity as quickly as possible.
“We are aware of the service disruption currently being experienced by some customers in Lagos. Our technical team is already addressing the issue, and normal services will be restored soon. We regret the inconvenience caused,” the statement read.
Reports from users indicated that the outage was more pronounced in areas such as Ikeja, Surulere, and Lekki, where several businesses and individuals rely heavily on MTN’s services for daily operations.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has yet to issue an official statement on the development, but industry observers say the incident underscores the need for improved network resilience in the country’s telecommunications sector.
MTN, Nigeria’s largest mobile network operator with over 70 million subscribers, has in recent months invested in expanding its infrastructure to improve service delivery.
