As
a result of connectivity problems experienced by consumers, the Federal
Government has agreed with telecommunications firm, MTN to a 170 base
transceiver stations rollout and expansion project in the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
The
minister of Environment, Mr. Darius Ishaku, represented by the Director
of Environmental Impact Assessment, Mr. Taiwo Odusanya, made this known
recently at panel review meeting.
“Despite
the laudable positive benefits of the proposed project,” the minister
noted, “it is pertinent to note that activities involved in the
construction and operation of the project will trigger some negative
impacts on the environment, health and natural resources.”
General
Manager, Regulatory Affairs, MTN, Ms. Oyeronke Oyetunde, assured that
the additional base stations would fortify the existing ones, provide
cost-effective operation through good service delivery, and improve
communications.
