Fuel Subsidy Protests: Government To Shut Down Blackberry Services
Wary of the gathering storm of public resentment of its fuel subsidy removal, the Nigeria government might have prevailed on telecommunication service providers to shut down Blackberry Services (BIS) nationwide in order to prevent people from being able to organize protests against it.
Information reaching SaharaReporters said that those services will be disrupted by the companies tomorrow, January 3, following directives and threats from some people close to President Goodluck Jonathan.
