Ethio Telecom has introduced its 5G services in Jijiga, expanding coverage to key areas like Old Taiwan, Ethio Telecom Regional office, Parliament Hall, Sheik Abdusalam School, Regional Administration Office, Regional Revenue Office, and Hodley (Palace and Airport Road).
CEO Frehiwot Tamru previously announced plans to establish 150 5G sites nationwide during the 2022 launch in Addis Ababa.
Established in 2010 as the sole telecom provider in Ethiopia, Ethio Telecom aimed to sell a 40% stake in 2021.
Despite initial interest from Orange, the French telco withdrew due to strategic considerations, as stated in a Reuters report.
