Users in Ethiopia’s major metropolitan cities like Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Bahir Dar, Jimma, Gondar, Dese, Mekelle, Hawasa, Nekemte, Adama (Debre-Zeit) and Nazreth (Bishoftu) will also find it useful due to urbanization and population explosions that is outpacing housing infrastructure projects such as condominiums and apartments.
