The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has announced plans to spearhead a global collaboration aimed at enhancing the protection of undersea cables.

The minister who revealed this on X, emphasized the need to review international laws and foster partnerships with regional and global bodies to accelerate efforts to safeguard the vital infrastructure.

Assuring those affected by the disruptions, Tijani stated that the Nigerian Communications Commission is actively working with all relevant stakeholders to swiftly resolve the issues at hand.

On Thursday, cuts to the undersea cable supplying broadband Internet connectivity to Nigeria and countries in the West African sub-region forced many banks and other financial institutions, as well as telecom companies and allied firms, to scale down their operations.
