Shaibu Haruna, the acting CEO of MTN Mobile Money Limited has disclosed that the telecommunication giants currently has 11.3million subscribers on their digital payment platform.
According to him, in 2009, the company decided to redefine the course of Ghana’s financial sector with the launch of the mobile money and with a little over a decade, the impact and success stories have been immeasurable.
He was of the conviction that this has come about because of the unwavering commitment and contributions of its partners, customers and other stakeholders.
Speaking at this year’s edition of the MTN South West Business District Awards for MoMo Agents and Merchants at the Best Western Atlantic Hotel in Takoradi on Saturday December 10, Mr Shaibu Haruna extolled the former CEO Eli Hini for his enormous contribution to the growth of the company’s digital payment platform.
“Many people have played major roles in the MoMo success story, however, permit me to use this opportunity to single out and acknowledge the remarkable efforts of one man who has played a very instrumental and critical role in Momo’s evolution. Let us give our former CEO Eli Hini a big of applause in appreciation for how far MoMo has come under his leadership”, he said.[ads4]

I am up to the task with the support of all our partners. Let us all continue to maintain and grow the legacy he led the team to build in Ghana.
