MTN South
Sudan’s CEO, Monzer Ali, who also serves as Chairman of MTN South Sudan Mobile
Money, has joined the Director General of the National Communications Authority
(NCA) and his team to inaugurate a new telecom site in Rialdit, Aweil East
County. The launch of this site represents a crucial milestone in MTN South
Sudan’s broader mission to bridge the connectivity gap across the country,
especially in underserved regions.
During the
event, Monzer Ali noted MTN South Sudan's commitment to fostering a connected
life for all citizens, aligning with the company’s core belief that “everyone
deserves the benefits of a modern, connected life.” The new site in Rialdit
is set to bring significant positive impacts, from enabling access to
educational resources to fostering economic growth and enhancing social
engagement. By bringing connectivity to the area, MTN South Sudan aims to
support local businesses, improve employment opportunities, and empower
communities with the digital tools needed to thrive in a rapidly advancing
world.
The launch is
also seen as an indication of MTN South Sudan’s ongoing partnership with the
NCA, underscoring a shared vision to reduce the digital divide in South Sudan.
Mr. Ali
expressed optimism about the impact of MTN’s latest project in Rialdit, stating
that connectivity is a driving force behind sustainable development. He
highlighted how each new site brings MTN South Sudan closer to realizing a
fully connected nation, where every South Sudanese has access to resources and
opportunities that can elevate their quality of life. By expanding its reach
into areas like Aweil East County, MTN South Sudan is not only facilitating
access to digital services but is also helping to shape a future where rural
communities can participate in and benefit from the growing digital economy.
As MTN South
Sudan continues to roll out new sites across the country, the company remains
focused on enhancing mobile network access in the remotest parts of South
Sudan. This initiative not only strengthens MTN’s position as a leader in the
telecommunications industry but also reinforces its commitment to social
responsibility and sustainable development.
