Ghana today – Jim’s view

Instant reflections of life in Ghana today
Thursday March 22nd 2024

This is very topical.

There is a nationwide internet disruption in Ghana and according to the National Communications Authority (NCA), it is due to outages on multiple submarine fibre optic cables that connect Ghana. The NCA in a press statement explained that multiple undersea cable disruptions have affected Mobile and Fixed Data services nationwide in Ghana.

It said the disruptions affecting the multiple undersea cables responsible for carrying international traffic have occurred in Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire. There are also some disruptions in Portugal, it added. This has led to a significant degradation of data services across Ghana.

Like not being able to check out of hospital because the forms can’t be printed. Difficulty with getting money and checking in for flights. It’s a big issue for the daily lives of Ghanaians. Link this to severe power shortages – 12 hour cut offs are now common, and life has got just that bit more difficult for all of us.
