Contrary to rumours making the rounds that Blackberry services will be shut down to protest the removal of fuel subsidy, Airtel Networks Limited has issued a statement informing all its customers and Nigerians in general that the company has no plan to shut down its Blackberry Services.
According to the statement signed by Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director, Airtel Networks Limited, Deepak Srivastava, also claims that Airtel has not received any instruction from any quarter to shut down its Blackberry Services.
“Indeed, we remain committed to offering innovative services and also empowering more Nigerians to connect with friends, family members and business associates. We encourage you to take advantage of our new Blackberry packages/offers”
Mr Srivastava further assures the subscribers that Airtel is very passionate about realizing its vision of being the most loved brand in the daily lives of Nigerians and will continue to enrich Nigerians with world-class telecommunications services including Blackberry services.
In the same vein, a statement from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) claims its attention has been drawn to an information making rounds that the NCC had at a meeting this morning (yesterday) agreed with CEOs of telecommunications networks to shutdown Blackberry Services in order to deny Nigerians the use of that very important social network.
The NCC’s statement signed by its Director, Public Affairs, Tony Ojobo and made available to Brandcrunch states categorically that there was never such a meeting held, nor was there ever a resolution to shut down Blackberry services.
While advising the public to disregard such information, the Commission enjoins the network operators to continue to provide all telecommunication services, including Blackberry Services without fail.{jcomments on}
