MEET OUR CHAIRMAN

Ahmad Bassam Oueidat

Appointed by a decision of the Council of Ministers and having assumed his duties at the end of June 2025, Eng. Ahmad Bassam Oueidat brings with him over thirty years of experience in telecommunications, public governance, and national policy — spanning both the public and private sectors.

His professional journey in Lebanon and abroad has been distinguished by a steadfast commitment to modernizing public infrastructure, advancing digital transformation, and fostering a culture of efficiency, transparency, and accountability within public administration.

Under his leadership, OGERO is poised to enter a new phase of development and modernization, built upon transparency, performance, and innovation.

No longer a traditional telecommunications operator, OGERO now stands as the digital backbone of the Lebanese state — and the launching platform for Liban Telecom in accordance with Law 431/2002 — serving as a key enabler of economic growth, e-government, and social development.

“Our mission goes beyond connecting networks — it is about empowering the nation: one citizen, one institution, and one opportunity at a time.”

Eng. Oueidat’s strategic vision is founded on four main pillars:

1. Expanding and securing the national fiber-optic network to ensure high-speed internet access for every home, school, and institution.

2. Accelerating digital transformation across public administrations and services to enhance efficiency and innovation.

3. Strengthening institutional reform and good governance within OGERO to ensure transparency and sustainability — paving the way for the establishment of Liban Telecom.

4. Building strong partnerships with the private sector and international organizations to attract investment and technical expertise.

Driven by the conviction that digital access is a fundamental right for every citizen, Eng. Oueidat believes that Lebanon’s economic and social revival begins with a reliable, modern, and resilient digital infrastructure.

With extensive technical and managerial experience, he is leading OGERO’s transformation into a model of public service excellence and institutional integrity.

Today, OGERO is working to restore public trust, deliver tangible value to citizens, and place Lebanon firmly on the regional digital innovation map.
