FG, WIOCC sign $10 million MoU to connect 3 million Nigerian homes with broadband fibre connectivity
The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy (FMCIDE), has signed a $10 million Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the West Indian Ocean Cable Company (WIOCC).
The West Indian Ocean Cable Company (WIOCC) has secured $41 million in debt funding to expand data centre infrastructure in Nigeria, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to Wood the impacts of the damage to WACS, ACE, Main One, and SAT3 subsea cables would not have been felt if the operators were also connected to Glo-1 and Equiano.
In the aftermath of recent undersea cable cuts, the Nigerian Communications Commission has said the telecom operators have restored data and voice services by up to 90%.
