One of them is Vodafone which announced a free access to various educational websites and e-learning platforms to ensure academic continuity is unhindered
Based on that, students of the University of Ghana, Legon were directed to visit a nearby Vodafone office for some special SIM cards as the university starts their E-Learning program today (30/03/2020).
The program started today with a massive patronage. As monitored by Atinkaonline from a class of 300 students, over 225 participated in the maiden edition, but some of them complained bitterly after the 2-hr class.
According to them, they went for the SIM cards but could not access internet Service with.
Meanwhile, the Communications Manager for Vodafone Ghana, Daniel Asiedu, explained that the delay in the registrations and activation of the SIMs is a result of the workload on the system.
