Minister announces telecoms ‘revamp’
U-Com Burundi, formerly Telecel-Burundi but now offering
services under the brand
name leo, has secured a USD25 million loan from the private lending arm of the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), to expand its
network coverage in the country. The IFC’s
country manager, Aida Kimemia, confirmed the loan yesterday saying that it would ‘help the
company expand into rural and remote areas of Burundi, where
mobile phone service is not available’
