The Minister of Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has denied claims that the government directed telecom providers to disrupt network services during the ongoing national protests.
There were reports of poor internet connections from MTN, Airtel, and other networks, prompting concern that the government may have ordered telecom carriers to disrupt services to stymie protests.
Tijani, on the other hand, stated on Channels TV that no direction was made to meddle with phone networks.
