“MTN has organized the quarterly invitational tournament since 2009 in a bid to engage corporate clients in an informal setting to get a better understanding of their telecommunication needs and preferences,” Mr. Addo said.
“But above all, we are excited by the top competition we see on the golf course during these tournaments and the life lessons we are taught every time. We hope to return with a much bigger and lucrative tournament next year,” he added.
