As a brand committed to driving Africa’s progress, we recognise that youth development and entrepreneurship are essential for sustainable economic empowerment. The youth are not just the future — they are the now. It is our responsibility to equip them with the digital tools, entrepreneurial mindset, and soft skills they need to thrive in a connected world.”

In her presentation themed STRETCH, she urged participants to go beyond their comfort zones to achieve excellence in their academic and professional journeys.

She emphasised that growth comes from stretching oneself and embracing challenges.

A highlight of MTN’s engagement at the summit was the presentation on the MTN Skills Academy, a flagship initiative under the MTN Ghana Foundation.

The Skills Academy provides free access to world-class digital skills training, including courses in data analytics, cybersecurity and career development tools.
