A mast belonging to Visafone Communications on
Sunday morning collapsed in a Lagos suburb of Surulere, reports ITRealms.
This, according to ITRealms investigations as affirmed by
officials of the company was attributed to the heavy wind and downpour in Lagos
over the night of Sunday.
ITRealms
gathered that although no life was lost, there was absence of network and service
in Surulere and environs on Visafone network until late afternoon, when the
services were reportedly restored partially.
ITRealms recall that Visafone
Communications Ltd emerged as a result of strategic acquisition of three (3)
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile network operators that had operations
for up to 8 years with 30,000 subscribers and coverage in different parts of
Nigeria, was incorporated on June 20, 2007 after its acquisition of Cellcom and
received a Unified Access Service Licence as a telecom operator from the
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on August 1, 2007 positioned it to
