MTN Ghana has announced that damage to undersea cables off the coast of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, is currently affecting internet connectivity and data services across Ghana and several other countries in the sub-region.

In a customer notice issued on Saturday, June 27, the telecommunications giant explained the cause of the widespread disruption.

“MTN Ghana would like to inform our customers that undersea cable cuts off the coast of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire are affecting connectivity and internet services in Ghana and some countries in the subregion,” part of the statement read.

The outage is expected to impact a wide range of users, from everyday consumers to businesses that depend heavily on reliable internet, including banks, e-commerce platforms, and companies using cloud services.

MTN Ghana assured customers that it is working hard to restore services.

“We are actively engaging our international partners to resolve the issue as soon as possible,” the company added.

Subsea cable damages are not uncommon in the region and often cause temporary slowdowns or complete outages. Customers are advised to stay updated through MTN’s official channels as restoration efforts continue.
