Kashim Shettima, the Nigerian Vice President, on Monday, when hosting the management of First Surat Group, as well as top management of MTN Nigeria, at the presidential villa in Abuja, urged the local and foreign investors to make the country their investment hub as he declares President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s determination to provide the enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country.
He charged MTN Nigeria to facilitate and spearhead digital mobile money and digital education.
Shettima, in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, said the Tinubu administration was willing to partner with various stakeholders in the quest to help boost the nation’s productivity base and generate rapid employment.
In his earlier remarks, the Chairman of First Surat Group, Dr Ali Maina, said aside from the company’s vast interest and strategic partnerships, its corporate social responsibility has seen it investing millions of naira in the lives and welfare of Nigerians.
On his part, Chairman of MTN Nigeria, Ernest Ndukwe and Chief Executive Officer, Karl Olutokun Toriola, said the telecoms firm remains committed to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
