The last time we visited the Ga Mantse, he extended a very warm hand to us for us to participate in the Homowo festival which is something that we do always.
But I think now we are building deeper and deeper ties with our communities, especially our chiefs, and so we came here as a show of support, and as a show of solidarity with the people as they celebrate this all-important festival. So, that is why we are here”.
She continued: “As a good corporate citizen, we believe in contributing to our community, we believe in partnering with our stakeholders, and the Ga people and chiefs are important stakeholders for MTN Ghana. So, this is why we always find it important or deem it important to participate in festivals such as the Homowo”.
So, we are here just to celebrate with the Ga people, the Ga state, and the Ga Mantse himself”, Madam Wiafe added.
So, we presented some drinks, we also presented cash of GH¢30,000.00 and some airtime to help them with the coordination of their arrangements. We are also going to set up at the venue and vantage points to help with customer issues and just to show our presence during the festival, she said.
Assurance
Madam Wiafe assured the celebrants and all people in the Accra metropolis that the company would put in place measures to provide them with quality telecom services during the festive period.
In her words: “Customer experience is something that we take very seriously and so in all big events we make sure that there are always backups. So, we deploy what we call BTSs which will provide some backup connectivity for our customers who will be there.
We also have our customer experience centres at the venue and the immediate environs so that if customers have any issues they can easily pop in and have their issues resolved. So, that is what we will do just to make sure that anything is seamless, their arrangements, and then the event goes on smoothly”.
She added that the company would use the opportunity to talk to the celebrants about some of their product and service offerings and to thank them for their loyalty to the MTN brand.
