MainOne urges protection of submarine cables

The company made the call at the 2nd Cable Protection and Awareness workshop, which held in Lagos.
The workshop, which sought to promote awareness of the strategic, economic and social benefits of submarine cables, especially to all stakeholders involved in seabed use, reiterated the significance of cables as critical information infrastructures whose availability, reliability and resilience are essential to the functioning of a modern economy, security, and other essential social values systems.  
Speaking at the event, MainOne’s Regulatory Manager, Oluwakemi Adeyanju explained that the annual Cable Protection Workshop ties into the global protection initiative organised by the International Cable Protection Committee to sensitise stakeholders on the critical role of cable protection.
