Zamfara State government has resolved to restore telecommunications services in Gusau, the state capital today.
A statement by Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle’s Special Adviser, Public Enlightenment, Media and Communications, Zailani Bappa said the resolve of the restoration of the telecom services followed “tremendous success recorded in the fight against banditry in the state.”
The statement says restoring the telecom services will help “ease the hardship faced by both the private and public sectors of the state.”
“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 monitor closely the unfolding developments and will announce further decisions of Government on measures being taken appropriately”, the statement read.
Recall that the state government had banned telecommunications services for weeks in the state.
The ban, it says will help the government to decimate the activities of bandits that have ravaged the state for years.
