Rabat- Moroccan telecommunications operator Maroc Telecom has been awarded two Diamond Awards by the Pan-African Leaders of Development 2015, organized by international NGO Nouv Afrique (New vision of Africa) on Friday in the capital Rabat.
The first award was the Super Diamond Award for Best Promoter of Telecom Sector in Africa, which was awarded to Maroc Telecom Executive President Abdesalam Ahizoune.
According to a statement issued by the compay, Abdesalam Ahizoune “managed to export the Moroccan model in many African countries and thus realize the South-South cooperation initiated by his Majesty King Mohammed VI.”
The second award was for the Best Promoter of Telecommunications in Africa.
The Pan-African Leaders of Development 2015 Awards aim to recognize companies and executives who, by the quality of their work, emerge as significant contributors to development in Africa.
With these awards, Maroc Telecom confirms Morocco’s position as the leader in the field of telecommunications on the African continent.
