Heawei Project Supervisor, Mr. James Kobba and team, Coordinator ECOWAN Project and Kelly and Norton (KN) first inspected the Jui site before proceeding to Mile 38, Rogbere, Lungi, Lunsar, Makeni and Mashingbi.
Mr. James Kobba told the delegation that the Fiber Optic ADM co-exists with Sierratel and co-habits with Sierratel, and feeds on their electricity and air conditions.
Heading towards Lunsar, the delegation discovered that the fiber cables were passed over head instead of underground, while the delegation also observed that there were some leakages from the fuel tank at Mashingbi.
