On the concluding day, fierce contests intertwined with fun activities attracted families, friends, and employees from MTN Nigeria to watch. Attendees relished live tunes, engaging games, and particularly looked forward to the eagerly awaited MTN Staff Relays, wherein various departmental squads vied for accolades and pride. The Innovators triumphed splendidly, securing first place in both men’s and women’s divisions.

The MTN execs also got involved in the festivities, taking part in 50-meter dashes and stressing the significance of staying physically fit. The Chief Human Resources Officer, Esther Akinnukawe, underscored the company’s Go M.A.D (Make A Difference) initiative, motivating everyone to remain active and make an impact in their respective areas.
