He said this was the company’s way of appreciating the millions of Nigerians who continue to use the company’s services and restated MTN Nigeria’s commitment to delivering the best services in order to ensure that everyone can stay connected to their loved ones and kickstart the act of extending a helping hand to the next person.

The launch was packed as food items and provisions were shared to the residents and a grand raffle draw was held that saw residents go home with generators, mobile devices and other grand prizes.

The Season of Surprises, which saw 250,000 Nigerians receive gifts, surprise payments for services and other incentives in 2017 alone, continues across the country.

Hundreds of MTN staff have volunteered for this endeavour with the sole aim of transforming the lives of Nigerians with well-orchestrated activities.
