Chairman Massaquoi said the move highlights President Joseph Nyuma Boakai administration commitment to digital inclusion, transformation and service to country, assured Orange Liberia of the LTA continues support and partnership in driving Liberia’s digital transformation agenda.
Five operators have already completed the licensing process, with more expected to follow suit.
Speaking further at the event Friday in Monrovia, LTA Commissioner for Licensing and Regulations, Ben Fofana, emphasized the importance of this milestone, saying, “We want more people to enter so that this market, particularly Liberians, can take a substantial portion of it. We want you to make money and improve our own economy”.
