Africa-Press – Uganda. MTN Uganda has once again positioned itself as a strategic partner in driving government-led digital transformation, with bold commitments and innovative solutions shared during the recently held MTN ICT Government Roundtable.
Addressing the forum, Sylvia Mulinge, the CEO of MTN Uganda, emphasised that scaling connectivity, security, storage, and inclusivity are no longer optional but critical components of any government’s digital agenda.

Looking beyond borders, Mulinge pointed to the immense opportunity within the East African region. She shared that MTN is now better positioned to leverage its growing suite of digital payment platforms.
