Top executives of South Africa’s MTN Group and local subsidiary, MTN Nigeria, last week undertook a three-day visit to top Nigerian government officials that culminated in a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja.

Ralph Mupita, MTN Group CEO/President; Karl Toriola, MTN Nigeria CEO; Ernest Ndukwe, MTN Nigeria Chairman, and top officials of the largest mobile network operator (MNO) in the country, were part of the delegation that visited President Buhari.

While with the President, MTN promised to expand investments in Nigeria “with a focus on rural connectivity, internet access, and financial inclusion, while praising Nigeria’s new local content policy, which aligns perfectly with our intention to further expand our Nigerian supply chain”, according to a company statement.
