The MTN Ghana Foundation reinforced its commitment to youth empowerment and digital transformation at the 2025 National Youth Mentorship Summit, held at the University of Ghana Business School. The event drew about 800 students and young professionals for sessions on mentorship, digital readiness, and leadership.
Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, MTN Ghana’s Senior Manager for Corporate Communications, underscored the company’s focus on equipping youth with digital tools and soft skills for success in a connected world. She encouraged participants to “stretch” beyond their comfort zones to achieve excellence.
A key feature of MTN’s participation was a spotlight on the MTN Skills Academy, which offers free training in data analytics, cybersecurity, and career development. Ebenezer Terkpeh, Education Portfolio Advisor, revealed the Academy aims to reach over 10,000 youth in Ghana with globally certified digital training.
Albert Prempeh Kusi, convener of the summit, commended MTN Ghana for its sustained investment in youth development, noting the impact of initiatives like the Skills Academy and national mentorship collaborations.
