Millions of MTN Nigeria subscribers across the country could not make voice calls, send SMS or use their data as the telecom operators experienced service hitch for most part of Saturday.
The service hitch which began around noon cut off many of the 77.53million subscribers on the network as they tried endlessly to connect their loved ones and clients, which led to the millions of Naira in business transactions.
The situation forced some of the MTN subscribers with alternative lines to switch to those lines to link up with business associates.
MTN didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on what actually caused the hitch.
But a message by one of the company’s spokespersons Funso Aina simply read: "Yello! Some of customers are having difficulty connecting to the network today (Saturday). We’re looking into this and are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
Recall that MTN, the largest telecoms provider in Naija, had in June notified its subscribers of service disruption due to the rising insecurity in parts of the country.
