MTN Group hosts Nigerian Acting High Commissioner to South Africa

MTN Group has welcomed Nigeria's Acting High Commissioner to South Africa, H.E Alexander T. Ajayi, and his delegation at their headquarters. The meeting was marked by fruitful discussions on areas of mutual interest, including economic and cultural diplomatic initiatives aimed at strengthening the already robust relationships between Nigeria and South Africa.

This visit points out MTN's ongoing commitment to the developmental agenda of both countries, aligning with the company's strategic intent of "Leading digital solutions for Africa's progress." As MTN celebrates its 30th anniversary in South Africa this year, the company also marks over two decades of operations in Nigeria, where it has established itself as the largest subsidiary in terms of subscriber numbers, serving approximately 78 million customers as of Q1 2024.

The meeting was reminiscent of Prof. Adekeye Adebajo's words, "The Nigerian eagle must soar and the South African springbok gallop in sync, if Africa is to be reborn." MTN's commitment to fostering strong bilateral relations between Nigeria and South Africa is a testament to the company's dedication to driving progress across the continent.

As a leading digital solutions provider, MTN is poised to continue playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of Africa, leveraging its expertise and resources to drive economic growth, cultural exchange, and social development in both Nigeria and South Africa.
