During a recent field visit, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Amer Al-Sawah saw the progress of the urban fiber optic broadband services initiative — one of the initiatives of the National Transformation Program 2020 and part of Vision 2030.
Al-Sawah inspected the progress of the project in Dammam’s Al-Nakheel neighborhood, which is supervised by the Integrated Telecom Company (ITC).
This is the minister’s second visit to ITC projects after the previous one in the central region.
Ghassan Itani, CEO of ITC, explained the details and different stages of the project within the planned schedule to the minister. ITC oversees several neighborhoods in Dammam, including Al-Nakheel, Al-Khaleej, Anoud, Salam, Aziziyah, Qadisiyah and Al-Faisaliah.
