Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari has requested Nigerian Telecommunications Commission (NCC) to restore telephone services in ten of the 17 Local Government Areas that were banned.
The Director-General, Media to the State Governor, Abdu Labaran Malumfashi, who disclosed this in a press statement identified the ten local government areas where the ban has been lifted to be Kurfi, Dutsinma, Matazu, Musawa, Malumfashi, Dandume, Bakori, Funtua, Kafur, and Danja.
However, he said telecom services remain banned in the following seven local governments: Faskari, Sabuwa, Batsari, Safana, Kankara, Danmusa, and Jibia. According to him, the state government, “decided to suspend the ban in the ten local governments as a result of the return to near normalcy, even as efforts have remained on the front burner to ensure maximum return of peace in every part of the state.”
Recall that Masari had placed a ban on communication in some local governments a few months ago.
