Zamfara State Governor Bello Marawalle has lifted the ban on telecommunication services in the state.
The governor lifted the ban on Saturday, but said it will be effective from Monday.
He said the decision was due to encouraging reports of successes achieved in the state from those stringent measures.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE reports that the governor had in September banned all telecommunications services in Zamfara over rising banditry in the state.
In October, the governor had directed telecommunication companies to restore network service in Gusau, the state capital city.
Matawalle said banditry and kidnapping had been substantially suppressed within the period of the telecom shutdown and that his administration was satisfied with the current security situation in the state.
The governor said security forces were still flushing out and arresting remnants of the bandits and their collaborators.
