The restoration of the Bo Clock Tower is part of Africell Sierra Leone’s larger corporate social responsibility program, which focuses on community empowerment, infrastructure development, and cultural preservation throughout the country. With today’s successful commissioning, Africell strengthens its position as more than just a connectivity provider, presenting itself as a dedicated partner in Sierra Leone’s social and cultural advancement, as well as a supporter of initiatives that celebrate and protect the country’s heritage.
