By Halima Muhammad, Kaduna
The Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufa'i says there is no plans to shutdown telecoms services.
"Kaduna State Government has not made such a decision, neither has it announced any such plans," He said.
In a statement made available to newsmen by the Special Adviser the Governor on Media and Communication Muyiwa Adekeye explained that, "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."
The statement therefore calls on Residents of Kaduna State to ignore these rumours adding that the speculation going round is fake news, not true.
"Citizens should ignore the fake news. There is no shutdown of telecoms services in Kaduna State," added Muyiwa statement.
He concluded that, "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."
