Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Kaduna State government on Tuesday said, there was no plan on ground to shut down telecommunication networks in the State.<\/p>\n

Rumours had emerged on Tuesday that, telecommunication would soon be shut down because of bandits threat like the case of Zamfara.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement on Tuesday by Muyiwa Adekeye Special Adviser to the Governor (Media & Communication), he said, the Kaduna State Government has no plans to shut down telecoms services. The statement said it has not made such a decision, neither has it announced any such plans.<\/p>\n

He said, 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.<\/p>\n

Zamfara: FG shuts down telecom services as security forces begin operation<\/p>\n

According to the statement, residents of Kaduna State should ignore these rumours.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The statement further advised citizens of the state to ignore the fake news.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cthere is no shut down of telecoms services in Kaduna State. The Kaduna State Government is transparent about security matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWere a telecoms shutdown deemed to be necessary, that decision would have been formally announced in a properly signed statement posted on official information handles,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
