The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct Communications Minister, Isa Pantami, and the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC to reverse the suspension of telecommunication services in Katsina and Zamfara states.
A statement signed by the organization Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, stated that network disruptions without legal justification are inconsistent with the principles of necessity and proportionality.
The statement noted that the action suggests a disturbing trend, given the growing restriction of civic space in Nigeria.
It added that if the network shutdown in Katsina and Zamfara is not reversed within 7 days, it would take all appropriate legal actions in the public interest.
