We Did Not Shutdown Telecoms Services In Kaduna—KDSG

The fears and rumours in some quarters that the Kaduna State government is poised to shut down telecoms in the state, as a way of curbing insecurity in the state have been debunked.

In a statement by the Special Adviser to the governor on media and communications, Muyiwa Adekeye, it reads, “The Kaduna State Government has no plans to shutdown telecoms services. It has not made such a decision, neither has it announced any 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 affected a communications shutdown.

Residents of Kaduna State should ignore these rumours. It is fake news which some people are trying to pass off as genuine by placing the 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.
