Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma has signed an Executive order No. 002, 2020, which will significantly reduce Right of Way (ROW) of telecommunication companies in the State from N4500 to N145 per meter in tandem with Federal Government policy.
In a verified Twitter handle of the Governor, the reduction was a manifestation of Government’s determination to spur the telecommunication companies to further invest in broadband infrastructure and trigger ancillary on-line services, especially in the field of education.
According to Senator Uzodimma, “The Government is hopeful that this drastic reduction from N4500 of the broadband ROW to N145 per liner meter of fibre will accelerate the deployment of affordable and reliable modern high speed connectivity in the State.
“The Executive order urged telecommunication companies to note that the State plays host to a vibrant and youthful demography located in many tertiary institutions, who form the bulk of the end users of their products.”
