The Makira Ulawa provincial government is moving forward with plans to strengthen telecommunications services across the province.
Improving connectivity remains a key priority, as the government aims to better link communities through reliable internet and communication infrastructure.
Speaking during a recent provincial full assembly meeting in Kirakira, Premier Stanley Siapu outlined plans to expand telecommunications coverage throughout the province.
“One of the most transformative developments anticipated this year is the expansion of telecommunications coverage across Makira Ulawa province.
“The initiative includes the installation of Starlink services in seven identified locations that are currently not connected to the Telekom network,” he said.
Premier Siapu said his government is working closely with Solomon Telekom company and Solomon Tower company to deliver the project.
“Through this collaboration, the province is expected to achieve near-universal network coverage,” he said.
He noted that improved telecommunications will make it easier for people to communicate and access essential services.
“This will greatly enhance communication and enable citizens to connect more easily with government services and their elected representatives,” he said.
Premier Siapu also calls on the people of Makira Ulawa province to cooperate and support this important development.
