Bello Matawalle, Zamfara governor, has directed
telecommunication companies to restore network service only in Gusau, the state
capital city.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had instructed
all telecommunication companies to shut down their services in Zamfara over
lingering insecurity in the state.
Zamfara has been the epicentre of kidnapping and banditry in
the north-west zone of the country.
In a statement on Friday, Zailani Bappa, media aide to the
governor, quoted Matawalle as saying the restoration of the service in the
state’s capital is imperative following the “tremendous success” recorded in
the fight against banditry.
“Governor Bello
Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun, Shattiman Sakkwato, Barden Hausa) has directed
for the restoration of telecommunications services within the state Capital of
Gusau only with effect from today, Friday, 1st October, 2021,” the statement
read.
“Government finds it necessary to ease the tight measure
after the recorded success desired of it which has no doubt destabilized the
syndicate of criminals terrorising the state leading to the successes recorded
against them by the security operatives.
“Governor Matawalle promises that his administration will
continue to closely monitor the unfolding developments and will announce
further decisions of the Government on measures being taken appropriately.”
