The Angolan Investment Bank (BAI) will activate 120 free Wi-Fi points across the country to promote digital inclusion and facilitate access to new technologies.
The bank explains that the initiative is part of its social responsibility programme, and that the project will make quality internet available to Angolan communities free of charge.
The project, according to a statement sent to this newspaper, reflects the bank’s strategic vision of supporting the development of local communities, especially young people.
With the activation of 120 internet points, BAI is committed to promoting access to education, entrepreneurship and information. The Chairman of the Executive Committee (CEO) of Banco Angolano de Investimento, Luís Lélis, says that the activation of free wi-fi represents a milestone in the social responsibility and innovation strategy.
‘With this initiative, we want to help create concrete opportunities for millions of Angolans to access information, education and new markets. We believe that digital inclusion is essential to unlocking the potential of our communities and contributing to economic and social transformation,’ said Luís Lélis.
According to information from BAI, the first phase of activating these wi-fi points will run until December 2025, during which time the performance of the technologies, the receptiveness of the communities and the support of the Municipal Administrations for the BAI Directo free wifi programme will be assessed.
