Nigerians Celebrate MTN At 20

As MTN gears up towards its 20th anniversary, Nigeri­ans have sent their messag­es of appreciation and con­gratulations to the telecoms company.

The ICT and telecoms company began operations in Nigeria in 2001. 20 years later, it has become an inte­gral part of Nigeria’s tele­communications success story.

Many Nigerians have shared their opinion about the company’s operation in the country, highlighting how it has contributed pos­itively to their lives.

One Samuel Adekoya, an alumnus of MTN scholar­ship, credited it with provid­ing him with the right plat­form to excel academically.

“The scholarship allowed me to concentrate on my studies and provided me with extra motivation to attain my first-class goal in Accounting. I am eternally grateful to MTN and wish the company another 20 years of success in Nige­ria.”

MTN is set to recon­struct the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway under the road infrastructure task credit (RITC) scheme, and this has received commendations from Nigerians.

Karl Toriola, MTN’s Chief Executive Officer, in a statement, said: “We are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has approved our participation in the Road Infrastructure Tax Credit (RITC) Scheme.

“This is in response to the government’s drive towards public-private partnerships in the reha­bilitation of critical road infrastructure in Nigeria. We intend to participate in the restoration and re­furbishment of the Enu­gu-Onitsha Expressway.”
