The Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer of NIGCOMSAT, Mrs. Nkechi Egerton-Idehen, told journalists after a-two day working visit round the state that the agency was in Gombe State to  ensure that it partners with the government to also enhance education, and health care services in the State.

Mrs. Egerton-Idehen said the visit to Gombe State was also to create more awareness on its services and attract more clients, as well as ensure that its clients, potential clients, stakeholders and partners  became aware of its activities.

“To our present and prospective partners in Gombe State and beyond, I want you to know that we are open for business”, said Mrs. Egerton-Idehen.
