GT Extends Internet services to Bolgatanga

Bolgatanga, July 11, GNA- Mr. Boniface Gambila, Upper East Regional Minister, on Wednesday called on the Ghana Telecommunication Services (GT) to help develop the infrastructure of communities that patronised their services.

He noted that Semi-urban communities and their environs like Bolgatanga needed more amenities and infrastructure such as schools and potable water to facilitate their development. Mr. Gambila, who made the call at the launch of the GT 'Broad Band For You' (BB4U) Internet Services in Bolgatanga, noted that such areas were expecting the GT to contribute towards their development to improve the standards of living of the people.

He said "when the people patronize your services and boost your business, you could also provide them with some social amenities and infrastructure that they need to encourage them to patronize more of your products and services."

Mr. Gambila asked GT to expand its services to all the districts in the region for easier accessibility of telephone fixed lines and the one touch mobile phone services.

Mr. Dela Kayi, Media Manager for GT Fixed Network Services, explained that the BB4U Internet services offered an all-in-one access to high-speed Internet services, voice calls, and other interactive delivery services, and was the fastest and most affordable service in the country.

He said the BB4U could facilitate distant education, research, commerce and email services.

Mr. Kayi said GT was striving to overcome all the challenges in modern telecommunication and called on the people to patronise the services of the Company and also buy made in Ghana products. Alhaji Musah Awudu, Regional Manager of GT, advised parents and teachers to ensure that children use the internet services for the acquisition of knowledge to enhance their learning instead of using the facility for immoral activities such the watching of pornography.
