Airtel Nigeria has revealed that it is working closely with the Nigerian government to empower more Nigerians with digital learning skills and access to financial inclusion in the seventh series of its Touching Lives Programme.
CEO of the telecom giant, Surendran Chemmenkotil, who disclosed this recently the Airtel Touching Lives Initiative is an opportunity for the telco to further connect with the several communities where they serve as well as focus on Airtel Africa’s sustainability agenda.
Speaking during the press conference held in Lagos, Chemmenkotil said: “Last year, Airtel Africa announced an ambitious sustainability agenda with a strong focus on providing access to digital learning for underprivileged children, working closely with the government to uplift the standard of primary education through the adoption of schools and providing access via financial inclusion to the underbanked and unbanked.
“To implement this agenda, Airtel Nigeria, through Season 7 of the Airtel Touching Lives programme, will mostly seek causes and opportunities that speak broadly and primarily to digital and financial inclusion as well as the adoption of schools.”
