Telecom service are being improved in the area

Some rural communities in the Upper West Region would henceforth enjoy improved network as telecommunications gaint, MTN, has provided 14 more network sites in the region.

Residents of Kojokperi, Ullo, Fian, Kokoligo, Poyentanga, among others across the region, had to position themselves at specific locations or under trees to be able to access network to make calls.

The least said about browsing, the better as messages sent to people in such rural areas through the internet took days to appear on their phones, therefore the new network sites would aid connectivity for calls and browsing.

This was made known by the Regional Technical Manager of MTN for the Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Savannah and North East regions, Mr Joseph KwadwoAddai at an Editors’ Forum in the Upper West Region, recently.

He acknowledged that there were still more communities to reach out to with network connectivity in the region and stated that MTN was preparing to provide more sites to help bridge the communication gap and said by the close of next year, many of the areas without network would be taken care of.

He said that even though the company was making efforts to improve upon its network connectivity, there were activities of private developers and road contractors which sometimes led to fibre cuts and interrupted their work.

He said that the company had experienced 29 fibre cuts in the region between January and August, this year stressing that such incidents were hindered their operations.

He called on the media and the public to provide information to the telecommunication network on areas that had issues of network connectivity in order to get them resolved on time.

The Senior Manager of Corporate Communication, Mrs Georgina AsareFiagbenu said MTN was dedicated to not only serving its clients but improving upon their wellbeing by undertaking corporate social interventions to support health and education in the country.

She mentioned that the company had set to lead in digital solutions for Africa’s Progress by 2025, initiate plans to build the largest and most valuable platforms, drive industry-leading connectivity operations, create shared value and accelerate portfolio transformation.

Adding his voice, Mr Obed Akuamoah, the Area Sales Manager encouraged the public to get their sim cards registered.
