The Government of Kaduna State has lifted the suspension of Telecom Services in some parts of the State.
Making the announcement on Friday, November 26, in Kaduna, The Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan said:
“I am here to inform you that the Kaduna State Government has contacted the relevant federal agencies to effect the immediate restoration of telecommunication services which were suspended in some local government areas.
“Security agencies had requested the shutdown in October 2021, among other measures, to assist ongoing operations against armed bandits and other criminals. The security agencies have now notified the government that telecoms services can be restored.”
“Along with the other measures in the security containment order, the telecoms shutdown had helped the security agencies to achieve some results, which the security forces will reel out soon. The prolonged application of this measure was always out of the question, due to its impact on the legitimate activities of citizens and businesses.”
“Residents are advised that the restoration of full services in the affected areas may unfold over a few days, as the service providers mobilize to power and boost their transmission systems accordingly.”
“The Kaduna State Government regrets the inconveniences residents of the affected LGAs may have encountered as a result of the shutdown. The state government wishes to commend the sacrifices made by residents while this temporary measure lasted.”
