AXIAN
Telecom Chief Executive Officer Hassan Jaber has reaffirmed the company’s
commitment to supporting Senegal’s digital transformation following a visit to
key operational sites and stakeholder engagements in Dakar and Touba.
During
the visit, Jaber met with company teams, partners, local authorities and
community leaders to gain insights into the growing demand for improved
connectivity and digital services across the country. His itinerary included
engagements in Touba, Senegal’s second-largest city and a major economic and
social hub.
The
AXIAN Telecom CEO said discussions with local stakeholders, including religious
authorities and municipal leaders, highlighted the critical role of
telecommunications infrastructure in supporting economic development and
expanding digital opportunities for communities.
A
key part of the visit included a tour of the company’s data centre alongside
the Stellarix team, where Jaber reviewed the facility’s infrastructure and met
with engineers responsible for its operations. He noted that strong local
technical expertise would be essential in accelerating digital transformation
efforts in Senegal and across the African continent.
The
visit also coincided with Africa Day celebrations, during which employees
gathered to mark the occasion and reflect on the role of connectivity in
enabling social and economic progress.
Jaber
described Senegal as a market with significant growth potential and expressed
confidence in the ability of Yas, AXIAN Telecom’s brand in the country, to
continue expanding its reach and strengthening its position as a leading
provider of digital services.
He
thanked employees, partners and stakeholders for their support and engagement,
emphasizing that continued investment in infrastructure, innovation and local
talent will be critical to meeting the evolving digital needs of communities
throughout Senegal.
The
visit forms part of AXIAN Telecom’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence
across Africa and support the development of inclusive digital ecosystems that
drive economic growth and social development.
