Queen mother applauds MTN Ghana for empowering SME founders

The Queen mother of Ekrofo in the Central Region of Ghana, Nana Esi Ninsin, has commended MTN Ghana for its initiative to train founders of small businesses in the country. Speaking in an interview, she expressed her gratitude for the training workshops organized by MTN Ghana as part of its SME Month celebrations.

Nana Esi Ninsin, who is also the 8th Nifa Hemaa of Ekumfi Traditional Area, noted that such training programs are essential in equipping entrepreneurs, especially women, with basic business practices that help them manage their businesses effectively.

"We applaud you and appreciate what you are doing for us, especially for women," she said. "The training helps us to be abreast with the latest trends and skills needed to succeed in business."

However, the Queen mother pleaded with MTN Ghana to extend its training workshops to other regions, including the Central Region, to enable more entrepreneurs to benefit from the initiative.

"Don't let such training stay in Accra and the central region," she said. "We will be very happy if you bring those trainings to the other regions for us to participate, share experiences, and learn more."

Nana Esi Ninsin also expressed her surprise at the array of facilities and services offered by MTN Ghana, beyond its data, bundle, and credit services. "I didn't know you have all these facilities," she said. "Although we give you some small loans that we are on our neck to pay."
