2023 Polls: No network shutdown today — Nigerian Communications Commission.

The NCC says all fraudulent messages on network shut down in the country should be ignored.

The NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Dr Reuben Muoka, said this in a statement, on Thursday, in Abuja. He said the NCC’s attention was drawn to fraudulent & misleading information circulating in some social media platforms.

He said that the platforms insinuated there was a planned shutdown of all telecom networks & relevant ICT Units, including online transfer facilities of the banks, with effect from today, February 23.

“The Nigerian public, consumers of telecommunications services, & all bank customers are advised to ignore these or similar messages that insinuate deliberate network shutdown or disruption of services in the Nigerian telecom network.

These malicious & subversive messages originated & are being circulated by fraudsters and unscrupulous elements in the society with the intent to cause chaos & panic among the populace.”
