The Kaduna State government has restored telecommunication services earlier suspended in some local government areas.
The State Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan who disclosed this to newsmen in Kaduna said the government had contacted relevant federal agencies to effect lifting the ban.
He said the telecoms shutdown earlier announced last October had helped the security agencies to achieve some results which the security forces will reel out soon.
The Commissioner explained that the restoration of full services in the affected areas may unfold over a few days, as the service providers mobilise to power and boost their transmission systems accordingly.
Aruwan mentioned that the state government regrets the inconveniences residents of the affected areas might have encountered as a result of the shutdown and also commended the sacrifices made by them while this temporary measure lasted.
He reiterated that the other measures announced as part of the security containment orders remain in force including the prohibition of motorcycles all over the state, the ban on weekly markets, transportation of cattle, and the prohibition of the sale of fuel in jerrycans in specified local government areas.
