    Zamfara to Restore Telecoms Services Today

    Zamfara State Government has announced the suspension of the ban on telecommunications services in the state from Monday, November 29, 2021.

    The announcement was made by Mr Bello Matawalle, the state’s governor, at an event in Gusau, the state capital, at the weekend, where he stated that the resumption of telecoms services would begin tomorrow.

    The federal government and the Zamfara State government had in September shut down network services “to enable relevant security agencies to carry out required activities towards addressing the security challenges in the state.”

    Now, Mr Matawalle explained that the decision to suspend the measure was informed by the encouraging report of peace attained in the nooks and crannies of the state.

    “I want to announce today (Saturday) that we have taken a decision to lift the ban on telecommunications in the state,” the governor was quoted as saying in a statement by Mr Zailani Bappa, his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Media, and Communications.

    “God’s Willing, as from next Monday we shall have that effected,” he said.

    This follows its neighbouring Northwestern state, Kaduna, announcing the restoration of telecommunications services more than a month after it was shut down on the orders of the state security council.

    Governor Matawalle, speaking at the convention of the state chapter of the All Progress Congress (APC) held at the trade fair complex in Gusau, believes bandits have taken the desired toll meant by the measure.

    He thanked the people of the state for their patience and perseverance throughout the trying period and assured them that his administration would continue to take any measure necessary to preserve peace and protect their lives and property.
