Summary: Nigeria recorded nearly 6,000 fibre cable cuts in six months, raising concerns over the stability of internet, business, and banking services across the country.
Nigeria has recorded nearly 6,000 fibre cable cuts within a six-month period, a development that poses a significant risk to internet connectivity, business operations, and banking services across the country.
The alarming figure highlights the vulnerability of critical digital infrastructure that millions of Nigerians and businesses depend on daily for financial transactions, communications, and commerce.

The scale of the reported incidents — averaging roughly 1,000 cuts per month — suggests a persistent and widespread challenge to Nigeria’s digital infrastructure stability.
