subscribers to remain loyal to them.

very happy to witness the final stage of the
prediction period and the handing over ceremony of the
car to the lucky winner Abdul Rashid Bangura.

development of social responsibility in the country
and that they are ready at all times to invest their
profits on their subscribers. He advised the winner to
use the car for the purpose it deserves.

participated since he took office at Africel and they
would remain friendly to their subscribers as long as
they were ready to work with Africel. Another speaker
