Abuja phone and internet users are getting wrecked by terrible service after a diesel supplier group called NOGASA cut off fuel to cell towers that keep MTN and Airtel running through a company named IHS Nigeria. The telecom regulator NCC admitted the capital city is basically having a meltdown, and they're trying to get everyone at the table to fix the fuel mess that's tanking signal quality.
The bigger problem is that telecom companies can't even build more backup infrastructure because local authorities keep blocking permits for new towers and equipment. NCC says they're working on getting the diesel flowing again, but subscribers are stuck dealing with dropped calls and dead zones while the government sorts out the supply chain drama with oil and gas distributors.
