Segun Ogunsanya, chief executive officer of Airtel Nigeria, announced this at a media parley in Lagos, on Wednesday.
He noted that ‘Airtel Touching Lives’, which is in its sixth season, will provide support for the disadvantaged and underprivileged across various communities in the country.
Ogunsanya said the CSR projects are implemented to sustain the “social licence” granted by communities where Airtel Nigeria operates.

“In 2001, Airtel procured operating licence in Nigeria. In 2021, we have renewed that operating licence for another 10-year period. While it is possible to procure and renew an operating licence, you can only earn a social licence. It is issued by the various communities where you operate,” he said.
