Now that we are in the harmattan period, communications networks most especially those of radio and television stations experience lots of signal interference.
Harmattan weather has the power to attract a distant weak signal at a particular frequency to interfere with a nearby strong signal at the same frequency causing signal distortions leading to unclear receptions.
It is no longer news that change in weather conditions affect our communications and electricity systems in Nigeria. Advanced countries of the world have been able to develop their communications and electricity systems to a level where changes in weather conditions is no longer a hinderance to their performance.
Here in Nigeria, our electricity system cannot withstand weather conditions such as rain, thunder storm, lightening e.t.c. Power failure must occur on or before these weather conditions take place. After normal weather condition resumes, a technical fault would have arisen that would take days before it can be rectified putting the nation in total darkness for days.
The telecommunications networks in Nigeria has since follow suit. Before, we had confidence in the nation's telecommunications system that come rain or shine there will always be strong network signal. But this is rapidly changing now. Network hitches leading to complete network failure are experienced by subscribers on the slightest change in weather conditions. All the telecoms operators in the country are guilty of this situation.
The telecommunications and electricity industries in the country really need infrastructural upgrade to meet up with their counterpart in the international scene who have perfected their technology to the level of conquering changes in weather conditions.
