MTN pledges continued support for education

MTN Ghana has pledged to work with the government in attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on education.


Mr James Bukari Basintale, General Manager of the Northern Business District of the Company, said this is in appreciation of the critical importance of education to the development of both the individual and the nation.
“It is the main resource that builds the human capital of every country.”
