MTN Group and MTN Nigeria have expressed delight at participating in the 11th South Africa-Nigeria Bi-National Commission held in Cape Town on Tuesday, during which the strong bonds between the two countries were reinforced and plans were made to accelerate cooperation.
The MTN delegation – led by group president and CEO Ralph Mupita, MTN Nigeria chairman Ernest Ndukwe and MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola – engaged with President Bola Tinubu on the sidelines of the meeting which was hosted by South Africa’s minister of trade, industry and competition Parks Tau.
MTN Nigeria accounts for some 27% of all MTN subscribers and some 23% of group service revenue.
“We believe in the Bi-National Commission’s objectives and the pivotal role of the digital economy in driving inclusive growth in Nigeria. We look forward to continuing our support for economic development initiatives,” said an MTN LinkedIn post.
