Speaking on the association with AFRIFF, Chief Operating Officer, MTN Nigeria, Hassan Jabber noted “the theme for AFRIFF this year is “Indigenous for Global” and that is something that resonates strongly with MTN Nigeria as a brand. We are a wholly Nigerian company making our mark on the global scene.

We recently launched 5G technology in Nigeria which we believe will lead us into a revolution across different sectors including our film industry. We also recognise the importance of storytelling and art to the development and growth of Africa and our support for AFRIFF is part of our strategy to empower and support the growth of local digital content creation and distribution.”
