A statement by the Senior Manager, Corporate Relations MTN Nigeria, Funso Aina, quoted an alumnus of MTN scholarship Samuel Adekoya to have said that the company provided 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,” Adekoya said.

Aina said some Nigerians had expressed delight as the company is set to reconstruct the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway under the road infrastructure task credit (RITC) scheme.

Aina added that Susan Orji described the road project as a birthday gift from MTN to Nigerians.

Orji said: “This is a great 20th-anniversary gift from MTN to us. We cannot wait for the road project to be complete as it will contribute greatly to rural development.”
