For three weeks, MTN had embarked on what it described as an intensive community care programme with the theme Making a Positive Difference to the Environment which now resonates with a new global thinking of increased environmental protection and going green to save the planet.

According to Mr. Ismail “Over and above twenty one days of Y’ello care, we will shortly be launching some long term environmentally sustainable initiatives as a business and in alignment with the group.”

In the course of the weeks, MTN had embarked on braille paper project, donations of support materials, tree planting campaign, Y’ello duck project, waste-art project, reduce paper waste challenge, and environmental awareness campaign.

He continued “I have therefore been very delighted that we have all voluntarily chosen to be change agents and friends of the environment. I am even more delighted with reports of the activities that took place in this year’s edition across the country. We have again a strong will to continue to positively impact on the communities where we operate.”
