Tamale, March 19, GNA – MTN Ghana has presented assorted food items amongst other packages to the Northern Regional Chief Imam as its support to the Muslim community towards this year’s Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
Items presented included bags of rice, assorted drinks, quantities of bottled water, cooking oil, a ram and a symbolic cheque for GH¢10,000.00 through MobileMoney Limited to support the celebrations.
