The federal ministries of Works (FMoW) and Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (FMoCIDE) have established a Joint Standing Committee on the Protection of Fibre Optic Cables to address the persistent issue of fibre optic cuts and damages caused by road construction and rehabilitation activities. These disruptions have had a significant negative impact on telecommunications services across Nigeria.

The Joint Standing Committee on Protection of Fibre Optic Cables was inaugurated on February 18 at the FMoW, by the Permanent Secretary, Olufunso Adebiyi, and his counterpart at the FMoCIDE, Farouk Yusuf, with the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr Aminu Maida, in attendance.
