Eid-ul-Fitr: MTN presents GH¢10,000 to Northern Regional Chief Imam

By Samuel Sam

MTN Ghana has presented a cheque for GH¢10,000, along with assorted drinks and food items, to the Northern Regional Chief Imam in support of the 2025 Eid-ul-Fitr celebration.

The donation included five bags of rice, ten cartons of vegetable oil, packs of mineral water, ten packs of soft drinks, three boxes of cooking oil, ten boxes of tomato paste, a ram, and airtime worth GH¢1,000.

Observing the holy month

Speaking at a brief ceremony in Tamale to present the items, Collins Adjei, Area Sales Manager – North, MTN Ghana, noted that in a few days, the holy month of Ramadan would come to an end, ushering in the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.

“As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility to support Muslim communities, we decided to donate to Chief Imams across the country to commemorate the occasion,” he said.

“Eid-ul-Fitr is a time when families and communities come together to share and strengthen bonds, show charity to the less privileged, and promote harmony with their neighbours,” he added.

He emphasised that this gesture was carried out across all 16 regions in the country to mark the festival.

“Our Muslim brothers form a significant part of our business community. Supporting them is our way of expressing gratitude for their contributions,” he noted. “We serve customers of all faiths, but our Muslim community plays a particularly key role in our operations.”

“This season is an opportunity to say thank you for your continuous support to MTN and for your role in promoting peace within our communities,” Mr Adjei said.

Promoting digital transactions

Mr Adjei also used the occasion to promote MTN’s new app: “We have developed apps that make transactions faster and easier. Our Memo App, for instance, allows customers to perform mobile money transactions seamlessly, without having to dial *170#.”

He encouraged customers to download the app to enjoy convenient mobile money services.

Appreciation

On behalf of the Northern Regional Chief Imam, the Secretary, Al-Haji Abdus-Salam Ahmed Abdulai Habibu Mohammed, expressed appreciation to MTN for the donation.

“This gesture continues to support the less privileged in society, who otherwise would struggle to celebrate the festivity,” he said.

“They have been doing this for over six years now. It’s an annual gesture, and we are grateful that they continue to remember us.”

“As an Islamic and religious institution, most of our constituents are the poor. This donation will go a long way to support those who would have found it difficult to mark Eid,” he added.
