NIGCOMSAT’s general manager of CAD/SP, Dr. Adamu Idris stated in a press release that Lawal, accompanied by his top management team, assured the Yahclick representatives of their willingness to collaborate.
Lawal acknowledged that the services presented by Yahclick had the potential to be a game-changer for NIGCOMSAT. He emphasised that the two satellite companies would work together to capitalize on the available market in Nigeria and the wider sub-Saharan Africa region.
During the meeting, Viret, accompanied by the regional manager for West Africa, Mr. Attah Abiodun expressed their satisfaction with the warm reception they received.
