SENATOR REPRESENTING EDO SOUTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT, NEDA IMASUEN WHILE FIELDING QUESTIONS FROM NEWSMEN SPEAKS ON THE THEME OF TRUST IN DEMOCRACY FOCUSING ON DATA, DOUBT, AND GROWING PUBLIC DISCONTENT.
IMASUEN SAYS ONE OF THE KEY ISSUES AFFECTING PUBLIC TRUST IS THE LACK OF NETWORK CONNECTIVITY IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, NOTING THAT RESIDENTS IN THOSE AREAS HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT POOR CONNECTIVITY AND THE SENATOR ALSO RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, ASKING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF NETWORK FAILURES OCCUR DURING ELECTIONS.
THE SENATOR ADDED THAT DISCUSSIONS WITH TELECOM PROVIDERS REVEALED THAT EXTENDING SERVICE TO SUCH LOCATIONS IS CHALLENGING AND COMPANIES MUST PROVIDE SECURITY, POWER GENERATORS, AND THEY ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE INVESTMENT WILL BE PROFITABLE.
