Telecommunications giant MTN Nigeria has announced plans to carry out a scheduled network maintenance exercise on Friday, October 25, which will temporarily disrupt connectivity in parts of Adamawa, Borno, and Kano States.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the company said the two-hour maintenance window—from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.—will affect 101 network sites across 15 local government areas in the three states.
MTN explained that the exercise is part of its ongoing efforts to enhance service reliability and strengthen fibre infrastructure in northern Nigeria.
“This planned maintenance is a continuation of the restoration work we began in August 2025 along the same route. The exercise will ensure stronger, more resilient connections for our customers in the affected regions,” the statement read.
According to the company, the work 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 impacted optical performance and network stability.
MTN assured customers that normal service will be restored immediately after the exercise and appealed for their understanding during the brief period of disruption.
