Kaduna Government Denies Attempt To Shut Down Telecommunications Services
- This statement is coming after rumours were making the rounds that the state government plans to close down the telecoms services as part of measures to curb insecurity in the state.
The government of Kaduna state has refuted media reports alleging that the government plans to close down all telecommunication services in the state.
This statement is coming after rumours were making the rounds that the state government plans to close down the telecoms services as part of measures to curb insecurity in the state.
A statement released by the media aide to the state governor, Muyiwa Adekeye, denying this rumour reads;
”The Kaduna State Government has no plans to shutdown telecoms services. It has not made such a decision, neither has it announced any such plans.
The Kaduna State Government did not reach out to any federal agency to request a telecoms shutdown, and it has not in any way ordered or effected a communications shutdown.
Residents of Kaduna State should ignore these rumours. It is fake news which some people are trying to pass off as genuine by placing KDSG logo on their false statements. It is simply not true.
Citizens should ignore the fake news. There is no shutdown of telecoms services in Kaduna State. The Kaduna State Government is transparent about security matters. Were a telecoms shutdown deemed to be necessary, that decision would have been formally announced in a properly signed statement posted on official information handles.
Gov. Nasir El-Rufai
Signed
