OVER FIBRE OPTIC LANDING… AIRTEL NOTICEABLY ABSENT

-
Minister of Information and Communication, Ibrahim Ben Kargbo was quick to spot the invisibility of Airtel at the landing of the fibre optic cable at the Lumley beech.


"Airtel is invisible at this event today," the Minister said.
His comment came as a result of the ceremonial dress put on by Comium and africell to grace that historic occasion which spelt out a new earn of the country.
The Minister who was commending the GSM Company for their tremendous work in the country and how happy they are to see such venture to call them by name but unfortunately for Airtel their absence was not felt.
Besides, Airtel the Minister failed to mention the name of Sierratel in the entire programme and their absence was not felt too.
Soon after the Minister's comment people were looking around to confirmed his comments after some confirmations they began to ask why Airtel was absent.
Some of the views that Airtel may not be happy because of the competition that lies ahead.
"It is true for us to feel happy, we have suffered a lot in the hands of these operator with fibre optic the world is in our hands," said Dauda Conteh.
SALONE TIMES later saw the Managing Director of Airtel with two staff members snicked into the event at the end of the programme when the President's speech was about to end. They took the seat but no one felt the presence. May be they rushed into the event because of the Minister's comment.
