Airtel Africa, a prominent provider of telecommunications and mobile money services, has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering fresh opportunities and fostering sustainable growth by spearheading digitalization efforts throughout the continent. This commitment was reiterated by Segun Ogunsanya, the Group CEO of Airtel Africa, during a meeting with the President of the Republic of Malawi, Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera.

The CEO expressed the company’s intent to bolster investments that align with Malawi’s goal of achieving a minimum of 20% Internet access by the year 2030. Ogunsanya emphasized Airtel Africa’s overarching mission of transforming lives across the continent, aiming to collaborate with governments and other stakeholders to bridge the digital and financial divide. He emphasized the vast potential of digitalization in creating substantial economic opportunities throughout Africa.
