Some road construction works interfering with mobile communications - National Engineering Coordinating Team

Dr. Kenneth Edem Ashigbey, CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, chairs the nine-member committee to spearhead the establishment of the Cybersecurity Industry Forum

Chairperson National Engineering Coordinating Team (NECT), Kenneth Ashigbey has expressed worry over a said disruption in mobile services due to the activities of road construction engineers.

A statement from the NECT said quoted Ashigbey expressing worry over “the incessant destruction of utility (telecommunication, Electricity and Water) infrastructure within the road reservation and the need for swift action to correct the situation.”

Ashigbey added that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the services of telecom, water and power providers are needed urgently but the construction works are hampering that.

“It is essential that all utility lines especially that of the telecommunication, ECG and Ghana water industry is functioning at optimum capacity” he cautioned.

“We entreat that you contact the NECT prior to the commencement of any road project to facilitate an inspection of the project with all utility agencies to locate or otherwise their infrastructure and also prepare for relocation,” the statement said.
