TelEm Group Director Edward Benjamin, in a brief address on the occasion of World Telecommunication and Information Technology Day, challenged personnel and management to live by this year's theme: "Connecting those with disabilities."He said access for physically-challenged persons had been taken very much into consideration in planning the construction of the new TelEm Building.
He noted that TelEm Group had hosted a visit for physically challenged clients this year so that they could see for themselves the services TelEm Group provided. "There is a lot more we can do to assist those who are physically challenged and we look forward to making good on the theme of World Telecommunication Day this year," said Benjamin.
The new board of the TelEm Personnel Association was officially introduced to management and personnel during Friday's celebration, following recently-held elections.
