“I would encourage the Association and Abossey Okai community not to relent efforts in maintaining this facility as we hand over so that it can continue to serve your business and telecommunication needs,” he said.
The Chairman of Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association, Joseph Paddy, expressed gratitude on behalf of the Association and the community and assured MTN that the facility will be maintained.
“We would like to extend our gratitude and thank to MTN that they have made it possible for the dream to become a reality. Today marks a very important occasion in the life of Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers.
“In order to ensure the sustainability of this centre, we will make maintenance a culture so as to keep it in shape. We entreat all members to make good use of the centre in order to grow and develop our business,” he added.
200 of the Association members will receive training from INTU-UT, a project partner, for 10 months. This is to sharpen the ICT skills of the members to enable them take full advantage of the facility and also retrain members.
