By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Gabonreview
Gabonese President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema has ordered Airtel Gabon and Canal+ Gabon to build their headquarters or risk losing the land granted to them. The ultimatum puts both operators under pressure to fulfil their property commitments and raises the prospect of their departure, according to Gabonreview.com.
Gabonese President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema has ordered telecommunications operator Airtel Gabon and pay-TV group Canal+ Gabon to begin construction of their headquarters. He has threatened to withdraw the plots of land granted to them, and even to demand that they leave Gabon, according to statements reported in the source text.
The two companies already have architectural designs, but have apparently yet to turn those plans into construction sites. The withdrawal of public land may be linked to the commitments attached to a concession, while the departure of companies that have been established for several decades would raise a separate question, according to this account of the issues.
