West Africa’s telecoms/ICT company MainOne has stressed the important roles that ICT could play in reducing costs and optimizing operational efficiency. According to the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Ms. Funke Opeke, these are much needed considering the fall in the price of crude oil in the global market.
She said this in Lagos while delivering a presentation on “Enabling Oil and Gas Production with Advanced Connectivity Solutions”.
“The role of ICT is particularly critical in driving down costs and optimising operational efficiency in this period of falling oil prices. Oil and Gas companies need to adopt ICT solutions to maintain profitability,” Opeke said.
Opeke advised oil and gas companies to follow suit and leverage available ICT infrastructure in Nigeria.
MainOne is providing telecommunications services to customers across West Africa; its services include a data centre, co-location, global video centre, metro ethernet, managed services, global internet services and global Internet Protocol (IP) transit.
