LAGOS — A simmering dispute over diesel supply between telecom tower management giant, IHS, and the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria (NOGASA) is raising concerns over possible disruptions to telecom services across the country.

Industry sources say the standoff, centred on pricing and supply terms, could impact the operations of thousands of base stations nationwide, potentially leading to network outages for millions of subscribers.

Diesel remains critical for powering telecom infrastructure, especially in areas with poor grid electricity. Stakeholders are urging swift resolution to avert service blackouts, which could hamper communication, banking transactions, and other sectors reliant on stable network connectivity.
