Zamfara State governor Bello Matawalle, (Matawallen Maradun) has announced the suspension of embargo on telecommunications services in the State beginning from Monday, 29th Nov, 2021.
According to a press statement issued by the Special Adviser, Public Enlightenment, Media and Communications, Zailani Bappa, Governor Matawalle made the announcement shortly after swearing-in of the newly elected State Executives of the All Progressives Congress, (APC)
at the State APC Convention, which was held at the Trade Fair Complex, Gusau, yesterday.
Matawalle stated that the decision to suspend the measure was informed by an encouraging report of peace attained in the nooks and crannies of the State, adding that reports available to his administration indicated that the level of insecurity has been reduced to the barest minimum.
He appealed to the people of the State to remain calm and support all government policies and programmes for the development of the State.
Recall that the Nigeria Communications Commission, (NCC), in collaboration with the State government had in September shutdown the telecoms network across 14 local government councils in the State due to insecurity as a result of the activities of unrepentant Bandits who terrorised the State.
Meanwhile, Tukur Dan-Fulani Gusau was returned as the newly elected Chairman of the APC in the State and Ibrahim Umar Dangaladima will serve as a new Secretary of the party in the State.
The new EXCO was sworn-in after the Caretaker Committee of the Party under Senator Hassan Nasiha (Central) was dissolved via a motion moved by a former governor of the State, Mamuda Shinkafi.
