The residents of Ayewa community in Oke Lewa Quarters in Iyin Ekiti have cried out to the management of telecoms company, MTN to restore the network in their area.

In a letter addressed to the Regional Manager, MTN Switch office, Ibadan, titled, ‘Absence of MTN Network Service At Ayewa Community, Iyin-Ekiti: Request for Urgent Action/Need to install MTN Mast to Boost Network’ signed by chairman of the community, Adeleye Adebowale and secretary, Awe Olu James, and made available to The Nation, the community stated its intention to inform the telecommunications company of the unavailability and absence of MTN Network Service in our area which has badly affected businesses and infringed on the effective communication by the people.”

“Before the decision of the Ayewa community to write this letter to your Regional Office at Ibadan, we have been deeply affected by the unavailability of the MTN Network Service to either call out or receive calls talk less of using our android phones to browse within the location of our community.

“With the above development, sir, we can authoritatively tell you that over five thousand residents in the area are on the verge of doing away with their MTN lines because of the absence of MTN Network in the area,” the letter stated.

It stated further that the situation is seriously affecting business and humanitarian activities in the area since emergency calls affecting health and business cannot be made.
