Following return to near normalcy in Katsina state, Governor Aminu Bello Masari has written to the Nigerian Telecommunications Commission (NCC) requesting it to restore telephone services in 10 of the 17 local government areas affected by the ban on telecoms services about four months ago.
The state’s spokesman, Abdu Labaran Malumfashi made this known in a statement on Friday.
Mr Malumfashi assured that efforts have remained on the front burner to ensure maximum return of peace in every part of the state.
The affected ten local government areas are Kurfi, Dutsinma, Matazu, Musawa, Malumfashi, and Dandume. Others are Bakori, Funtua, Kafur and Danja.
Those unaffected by the planned restoration of the services are Faskari, Sabuwa, Batsari, Safana, Kankara, Danmusa, and Jibia.
