Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ in Kogi State has frowned at the poor telecommunication services currently being experienced by subscribers in the state with a call on the relevant stakeholders to resolve the issues and restore services without further delay.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement jointly signed by Segun Salami and Abdulrahman Salihu, Chairman and Secretary, respectively, after an emergency meeting of the chapel in Lokoja on Monday.<\/p>\n

The statement reads \u201cFor about a week now, subscribers in the state have been enduring epileptic services from telecommunication operators, notably MTN, Airtel, and Glo.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis has had severe implications for information flow, peace and security, health care delivery, financial and other business transactions, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make matters worse, subscribers have been taken for granted without deliberate communication from the operators. A situation where the citizens are left to hearsay and rumours of allegations and counter allegations on breaches between operators and regulators leave a bad taste in the mouth. Subscribers in Kogi, like their peers in other States, are entitled to an explanation from the relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis nightmare has endured for too long. We therefore call on the different gladiators to put an end to the charade in the interest of national peace, conjugal harmony, and justice. Nigerians are already suffering too much hardship. We do not need to increase their burdens by the frustrations and confusion of poor communication\u201d.<\/p>\n
