MTN Foundation invests ₦32 billion in health, education and community development in Nigeria
The MTN Nigeria Foundation has announced a major investment of over ₦32 billion to support healthcare services, scholarships, and community development programs across Nigeria. This initiative is part of MTN’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and national development.
Boosting Healthcare Services
In 2025 alone, the MTN Foundation donated essential medications to health centres, supported safe deliveries for mothers, and helped improve access to basic medical services in underserved communities. According to the foundation, these efforts aim to reduce preventable illnesses and improve maternal and child health outcomes nationwide.
“Our mission is to empower communities through health, education, and digital inclusion, creating opportunities for Nigerians to thrive,” said a spokesperson from MTN Nigeria.
Empowering Students Through Scholarships
The foundation also supports STEM scholarships for students across Nigeria. These scholarships are designed to help young Nigerians gain access to quality education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students who benefit are provided with financial support, mentorship programs, and access to digital learning tools to improve academic performance and career readiness.
Community Development Programs
Beyond health and education, MTN Foundation invests in infrastructure projects, skill acquisition programs, and community initiatives aimed at fostering social and economic growth. Communities across rural and urban areas benefit from improved access to resources, training programs, and technology tools.
