Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello has ordered the unsealing of telecom Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).
The state had shut down the BTSs following a standoff with telecom operator over revenue related contention.
But the governor yesterday ordered that the stations be reopened after a meeting with NCC top officials and telecom operators in his office in Lokoja.
The NCC’s Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management, Mr. Sunday Dare, led the delegation that included officials of the affected telcos to the meeting.
In attendance were IHS, MTN and ATC as well as the head of the Kogi State Inland Revenue Service and Chief of Staff to the governor.
Governor Bello also directed that court cases instituted by the state be withdrawn and amicable settlement reached between the telcos and Kogi State Government.
