Chief Digital Strategist at S Mobile Group, Gabriel Onu, has highlighted the company’s strategic role in advancing digital inclusion across Nigeria.
Aligned with MTN Nigeria’s vision for transformation, he said S Mobile is partnering with tertiary institutions and empowering young minds in Southeast Nigeria, contributing significantly to MTN’s Ambition 2025 initiative, which aims to shape a tech-driven, human-centered future for the country.
“Recognising the role of data in modern education, this partnership aims to empower students to communicate effectively and thrive in an increasingly digital academic environment,” Onu explained.
Furthermore, S Mobile has introduced MTN MOMO, a financial technology solution, to these institutions. “MOMO offers students a seamless and secure way to handle financial transactions, reducing the reliance on cash and improving financial inclusion among Nigeria’s youth,” he added.
As part of its support for MTN’s technology vision, S Mobile established the S Mobile Tech Hub, a dynamic space dedicated to equipping young Nigerians with critical skills for the future. “To date, the hub has trained and empowered hundreds of youths, fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and technical expertise,” Onu noted.
“The impact of the Tech Hub extends beyond education; it serves as a tool for societal transformation. By empowering youths with skills that enable them to achieve their potential, S Mobile is contributing to reducing crime and inspiring a new generation of tech-savvy leaders.”
This festive season, S Mobile is thanking its loyal customers with a Christmas Promo, offering affordable data packages as a token of appreciation. “This initiative acknowledges the unwavering support of MTN’s subscribers and emphasizes S Mobile’s commitment to making digital services accessible to all,” Onu stated.
“S Mobile’s contributions, from affordable data solutions to youth empowerment programs, highlight its commitment to MTN’s human-centered corporate objectives.
“Together, the partnership is not just about technological advancements but also about building a future where innovation drives progress and inclusion. S Mobile remains a committed partner in driving MTN’s mission for digital inclusion and national development.
