The Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency, Hajia Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, received equipment and materials to support the extension of telephony and internet connectivity to ten communities within her constituency.
The initiative forms part of her ongoing efforts to improve access to essential services through constituency engagements.
In January 2025, the MP formally submitted a request to the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, seeking assistance to expand telecommunication services to underserved areas. The beneficiary communities include Kakoshi, Lamsa, Kayereso, Kpambu, Bunkpa, Chakara, Akamade, Buma, Telkpa, and Silmuchu.
Speaking at a brief ceremony to mark the receipt of the equipment, Hon. Ibrahimah expressed her excitement about the commencement of the project. She noted that, for many years, residents of these communities have been largely cut off from the rest of the country due to limited access to communication infrastructure.
She emphasized the vital role of telecommunications and internet connectivity in driving development, improving access to information, and creating opportunities for education and economic growth.
The MP further disclosed that construction of the necessary infrastructure, including telecommunication masts, will begin immediately. She also expressed her heartfelt appreciation to the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, as well as the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), for their support and commitment in making the project a reality.
The initiative represents a significant step toward bridging the digital divide and enhancing the quality of life for residents in these communities.
