S Mobile is partnering with tertiary institutions in Southeast Nigeria to improve access to affordable digital services, aligning with MTN Nigeria’s Ambition 2025 initiative, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The initiative aims to advance digital inclusion and technological growth by providing students with affordable data solutions.
The Chief Digital Strategist at S Mobile, Gabriel Onu, stated, “We have partnered with students in tertiary institutions across Southeast Nigeria to provide easy access to affordable data solutions.
“Recognizing the role of data in modern education, this partnership aims to enhance students’ connectivity, enabling them to access educational resources, communicate effectively, and thrive in an increasingly digital academic environment.”
S Mobile has also 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,” Onu said.
As part of its support for MTN’s technology vision, S Mobile established the S Mobile Tech Hub, a 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 helps reduce crime and inspire a new generation of tech-savvy leaders,” he said.
During the festive season, S Mobile is offering a Christmas Promo with 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 said.
Through these initiatives, S Mobile aligns with MTN’s Ambition 2025 goal of creating a better-connected Nigeria. “S Mobile’s contributions—from affordable data solutions to youth empowerment programs—highlight its commitment to MTN’s human-centered corporate objectives,” he added.
“As the year ends, S Mobile renews its pledge to support MTN’s vision, ensuring its customers and the communities it serves continue to benefit from the transformative power of technology,” Onu concluded.
