The leading Communication network in Ghana, MTN- has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting local communities by making generous donations to the Office of the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, as well as to the Regional Chief Imams of the Ashanti, Western and Northern Regions to commemorate the Eidul Fitr celebrations.
A delegation from MTN visited the Office of the National Chief Imam to present food items and cash donations to support the festivities.

During the presentation in Accra, Ibrahim Misto, Chief Digital Officer of MTN Ghana, emphasized the significance of Eidul Fitr. He noted that the celebration is one of gratitude, unity and reflection, highlighting values of generosity, compassion and peace that resonate with MTN’s brand values.
Ibrahim Misto also assured attendees of MTN’s commitment to improving customer experience during and after the celebrations.
In receiving the donation in Accra, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu expressed deep appreciation for MTN Ghana’s annual gesture, recognizing the positive impact such contributions have on the underprivileged. He emphasized that acts of generosity bring blessings not only to the recipients but also to the donors. “This act of kindness helps uplift the less privileged and strengthens community bonds” he said.
In the Western region, Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Suleymana Ahmed Mozu, expressed gratitude to MTN for their ongoing support of Muslims in Ghana upon receiving the donated items. He stated, “We are extremely grateful for this act of kindness. MTN’s yearly support to the Muslim community demonstrates the company’s goodwill and commitment to building a strong society.”
Similar donations were also made to the Chief Imams of the Ashanti and Northern regions.
In addition to the donations, MTN also assisted in organizing the National Sallahfest Cultural Night in Accra Newtown, as well as Sallafest durbars in Kumasi and Kasoa during the celebrations. As part of MTN’s commitment to brighten lives of its customers, MTN also established service stands at key locations during the celebration. These stands provided essential services, such as SIM swaps and Mobile Money registration and transactions, as well as also educating customers on preventing Mobile Money fraud.
