Power Outages: ALTON Appeals For Understanding 

The Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), has apologised over unintentional power outages on some operators  networks in the last 24 hours.

Alton, while appealing for calm in the light of the ‘Sorosoke’ revolution in Nigeria, it noted that the outages have been compounded by power and other operations-related issues that have occurred across some major routes in Lagos metropolis and other states resulting in congestion of networks and impact on quality of services.

“Further movement restrictions and the volatility on the streets has compounded the restoration of outages because engineers have not been able to move about to fix the problems. At the moment, affected member operators are exploiting all avenues to remedy the situation. Engineers are making relentless effort round the clock to resolve issues, while in the interim, efforts are being made to optimize coverage utilising alternative solutions as a stop-gap solution to the most impacted locations”.

Alton said that subscribers need both voice and data communication especially at this critical time.
