Speaking about the campaign, the Executive Secretary, MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya said, “We understand the transformative power of digital innovation and are constantly on the lookout to connect people with opportunities. Our focus with Y’ello Care initiatives this year is to drive more of such connections to create sustainable change.
