“Etisalat remains committed to investments in small and growing businesses in Nigeria because the country has a lot of young people joining the workforce every year and we at Etisalat believe that by helping to empower SMEs, the generation of more job opportunities can easily be achieved. It is important to us at Etisalat that we do a good job but more than that, we aspire to see our customers do a good job while using our services as well. We aim to help these companies grow just like we have grown over the last five years,” he said.
