Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN Ghana) has donated GHȻ20,000.00 and assorted items to the 2025 Kobine Festival Planning Committee to support this year’s celebration of the annual cultural event of the Lawra Traditional Area.
The company also supported side activities in the run-up to the climax of the festival, including the football gala, where the winning teams received prizes such as cash and souvenirs.
In addition to the cash donation, MTN Ghana provided airtime worth GHȻ1,000.00 and hampers to the festival committee.
The Mobile Telecommunication Network had also mounted service stands at the Kobine festival grounds to offer services such as SIM card registration and replacement, and MTN mobile application downloads, among others to the public.
Mr Collins Agyei, the Area Sales Manager of MTN Ghana in charge of the Northern Zone, said MTN’s support to the festival celebration formed part of its commitment to promoting the cultural heritage of the people.
“Over the years, MTN has consistently supported the Kobine Festival, and this year we are giving out GHȻ20,000.00 to support the celebrations, as well as other packages to add colour to the event”, he stated.
Mr Agyei also highlighted other interventions of MTN through the MTN Foundation, citing initiatives such as the “Girls-in-ICT” programme and the establishment of ICT laboratories.
He encouraged MTN subscribers to take advantage of the ongoing “MoMo App Promotion,” which rewards customers for transactions on the Mobile Money application above GHȻ100.00.
He indicated that the MoMo App users stood the chance of winning daily, weekly, and monthly cash prizes, with rewards ranging from GHȻ100.00 to GHȻ5,000.00, and platinum rewards for high-value transactions.
Mr Agyei also encouraged customers to download and use both the MTN Momo and MyMTN App to enjoy convenient services such as airtime purchases, bundle subscriptions, bill payments, and stock market investments, among others.
