Mobile Communication operators told to assist deprived
communities
Tema, Jan. 12, GNA - Mobile Communication operators have
been called upon to assist in the development of deprived
communities they operate in as part of their social
responsibilities.
Mr Frank Asante, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Tema
Municipal Assembly, made the call at the opening of a branch
of Millicom Ghana Limited, operators of Tigo Mobile phone
provider on Friday in Tema.
He asked Communication Operators not only to show interest
only in their profits but should also assist District,
Municipal and Metropolitan assemblies to improve the living
conditions of rural communities.
Mr Asante suggested the adopting of schools in rural areas
to provide them with their basic needs at their contribution
towards quality education.
He commended management of Tigo for opening the Centre,
which the PRO noted would help in creating jobs for the
youth and boost revenue generation to support the
development of the Municipality.
Mr Asante called on the staff to ensure efficiency and wider
coverage to avoid criticism from customers.
Mr Gareth Townley, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tigo,
said the growth rate of the industrial city, motivated the
opening of the centre for business entrepreneurs to have
access to fast communication.
The Centre, he said, would open 24 hours in the week and
urged customers to feel free to approach the staff for
quality service.
Mr Daniel Pabby, Tema Area Manager of Tigo, said the network
would be extended to the surrounding communities.
The Tema Mantse, Nii Adjei Kraku II and Mr Townley jointly
cut the tape for the Centre to start work.
