MTN Nigeria, a leading telecommunications company, has earned the recognition and praise of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development for its humanitarian efforts in aiding the return of evacuees from Sudan.
The technology giant has generously offered 5000 returnees N25,000 airtime and 1.5 GB data to provide relief and support during their resettlement in the country.
Speaking on Saturday at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, the Minister noted that the actions of MTN Nigeria would “boost the morale of people who have gone through trauma,” adding that as they returned back home, “this kind of arrangement would make them feel loved, and cared for.”
“I want to say we are proud of MTN” noted Dr Gwarzo.
He also commenced the efforts of the MTN team on the ground at the airport handing out the dignity pack.
“All of you are young men and women like the people coming back, so continue your good work. Nigeria is a place we must improve. We see what can happen in a crisis, how a whole country can dismember in a short while. We should all pray that peace comes to Sudan and may war never come to Nigeria.”
