Achimota Golf Club President also praised MTN’s contribution to Ghana’s digital landscape, noting that the company’s achievements had accumulated through relationships, trust and partnerships.

The tournament, which attracted golfers from across Ghana, featured an 18-hole competition and provided an opportunity for corporate leaders and golfers to network while celebrating MTN Ghana’s 30-year journey.
