KADUNA, Nigeria – The Kaduna State Government has said that it has no plans to shutdown telecoms services in the state. In a statement, Special Adviser to the Governor (Media & Communication), Mr. Olumuyiwa Adekeye said it neither made such a decision, nor has it announced 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”, he said.
He advised residents of Kaduna State to ignore rumours of telecoms shutdown.
“ 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”, he said.
