Nigeria’s leading ICT Company MTN Nigeria on Thursday launched MTN mPulse to the market.
The company at the event which took place at the Landmark Events Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, said the project designed for tweens and teens (ages 9-15) will enable them learn and gain useful skills while having fun.
Speaking at the launch, Adekunle Adebiyi; Senior Manager, Youth and Teens Segment, MTN Nigeria, said “We always seek to proffer innovative and relevant solutions that enable our customers connect with their tomorrow.
“This platform does precisely that, providing a controlled environment where our youngsters can explore and learn more, and have fun while doing it.
“MTN is a community of people from across the country, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters some of who are parents themselves.
“We all have family connections and like you, are dedicated to protecting and nurturing a brighter future.”
The mPulse package comes with a voice plan and a fun, educative website which hosts a wide variety of courses and study aids to help children from Primary 1 to SS3 excel.
The portal also provides a bouquet of single and multiplayer games as well as life skill videos.
From computer programming, fashion designing, medicine and blogging to engineering, writing, data science and motivational speaking etc, there is something for every interest.
The Portal has built-in parental controls. Once a child is signed up, the registered parent/guardian can track and control what the child is accessing on the Internet.
With the launch of MTN mPulse, MTN is giving parents and guardians more ways to equip the next generation.
