MTN Declares Temporary Disruption Of Network Connectivity

Awarenessinfohub has gathered that MTN Nigeria has announced a scheduled network maintenance exercise set to take place on October 25, 2025, in parts of Adamawa, Borno, and Kano states.

The maintenance, which will last for two hours from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., is expected to affect 101 network sites across 15 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the three northern states.

The planned maintenance is part of MTN's ongoing efforts to improve service reliability and strengthen its fibre infrastructure in the region.

According to the company, the exercise will involve a fibre cutover on a newly relocated cable segment between AFCOT and Bawo Village, replacing previously damaged spans and reducing multiple joints that have affected optical performance and network stability.

This comprehensive upgrade aims to eliminate recurring faults and ensure more stable connectivity for customers in northern Nigeria.

The maintenance will affect the following areas:

Kano State: Nasarawa LGA

Adamawa State: Girei, Song, Mubi North, Hong, Gombi, Fufore, Mubi South, Madagali, Michika, Maiha, Chibok, and Yola North.

Borno State: Askira/Uba and Shani.

During the maintenance period, services on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, along with 10 enterprise connections, will be unavailable due to the linear and unprotected nature of the fibre route. However, MTN has assured customers that connectivity will be restored immediately after the maintenance window.

The company has apologized for any inconvenience caused and appreciates customers' understanding as it works to deliver a more stable and efficient network experience. This maintenance exercise underscores MTN's commitment to improving network quality, uptime, and resilience across underserved regions of the country.
