Speaking with newsmen in a phone interview, he said “the continous painstaking effort and hardwork put into expanding West Africa’s largest and indigenous telecom infrastructure network to enhance the Sub-Region’s options for route diversity, local/international redundancy and to remove heavy reliance on traditional connectivity; is made all the more worthwhile by this AITTA acknowledgement and could not have come at a greater time not just for himself but the entire Phase3 family”.

He reaffirms that the focus as always been to proffer solutions on connectivity and access that open limitless opportunities for African businesses to thrive as their global counterparts.
