I want to assure Airtel that the regional government is supportive of your investment and we will protect the interests of Simiyu residents and of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said in many cases, companies investigated places of investment before any investment move to avoid losses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI commend Airtel for investing in the region and especially for making our rural areas connected to communication services,\u201d Ms Mmbanga noted.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that Simiyu Region was one of the regions leading in natural wealth, namely cotton farming and mineral mining.

Our goal is to address these challenges and ensure they enjoy communication services as free as those living in urban areas,\u201d Mr Pallangyo said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that for that reason, Airtel had upgraded all its telecommunications towers in the region to 4G, providing customers with efficient telecommunications services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Airtel 4G network comes with modern technology and fast internet services. May I use this opportunity to call all residents and customers in Simiyu Region to come and upgrade their SimCard to Airtel 4G network for free,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Airtel has also launched Airtel Money branches in every district and municipal council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is to ensure that our customers get services at their closest reach.
