Telecoms operators warn of network disruptions in Lagos, other states
The Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) has raised alarm over a looming disruption of mobile and internet services in Lagos and Ogun States due to a diesel shortage caused by the ongoing strike by Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD), a branch of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).
ATCON President, Tony Emoekpere, disclosed that the strike—triggered by allegations of police harassment of tanker drivers in Lagos—has halted fuel distribution, leaving telecom base stations running critically low on diesel. With no immediate solution in sight, millions of users risk experiencing network outages, which could disrupt businesses, emergency services, and daily communication.
To avert a potential telecom blackout, ATCON is calling on the governors of Lagos and Ogun States to intervene and ensure that diesel supply reaches telecom operators. The association also urged security agencies and petroleum unions to swiftly resolve the crisis to safeguard the nation’s connectivity and economic stability.
