HRH Alhaji Ado Bayero, Emir of Kano, while receiving the management team of ZOOMmobile at his palace, as part of activities marking the launch, commended the company for pioneering price reduction in the industry, and continuously striving to make telecommunications services affordable to all, irrespective of social or economic class.

The Emir further urged the company to ensure that residents of Kano enjoy world class services on its network and while pledging his continued support and encouragement to the company.

In his speech, Tony Okonkwo, the company’s group managing director said his team was in the palace to pay homage to the monarch and seek his royal blessing for a mutually beneficial business relationship with the good people of Kano.

Okonkwo stated that ZOOMmobile was in Kano to alter the telecommunications landscape for good through the provision of a robust, fast, stable, effective and affordable network that empowers people to excel in all their endeavors.
