Correction Note
An earlier company communication mistakenly stated that Digitel’s newly launched sites at Pala and Akuoyo were in Warrap State. The sites are in fact located in Western Bahr el Ghazal State along the Wau–Tonj Road. Digitel has since clarified the error and issued an apology, reaffirming its commitment to accurate communication.
