MTN Uganda, in continued partnership with the Tooro Kingdom, proudly celebrated the 27th coronation anniversary of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV at this year’s Empango celebrations, under the theme, “Promoting Heritage for Livelihoods, Identity, and Development.” In honor of this occasion, MTN Uganda extended a contribution of UGX 30 million to support the preparations for the celebrations.
Speaking during the event, Andrew Tusubira, the MTN Regional Commercial Head -Western Uganda expressed MTN’s bliss in partnering with the Tooro Kingdom, recognizing the critical role the kingdom has played in maintaining a strong relationship. “We are honored to partner with the Tooro Kingdom. This partnership exemplifies our dedication to societal development. By leveraging our resources, we support the Kingdom’s goals in health, education, and youth empowerment while championing its cultural heritage. MTN is committed to advancing the Kingdom’s progress and connecting its communities to a brighter future,” Tusubira said.
MTN Uganda’s partnership with the Tooro Kingdom has been instrumental in fostering unity and socioeconomic development. Since the partnership was formalized in 2019, the two entities have worked towards improving key areas such as health, education, and youth empowerment. This relationship is guided by MTN’s belief that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life.
Earlier this year, His Majesty King Oyo made a historic visit to the MTN Uganda headquarters in Kampala. The visit underscored the importance of the collaboration between MTN Uganda and the Tooro Kingdom in driving developmental initiatives in Education, sports, health, and other vital areas. King Oyo, who was warmly received by MTN Uganda CEO Sylvia Mulinge and the MTN executive team, toured the MTN call center, planted a tree as a symbol of environmental sustainability, and held discussions on future collaborations between MTN and the Kingdom.
MTN Uganda’s long-standing partnership with the Tooro Kingdom continues to demonstrate the power of collaboration in achieving shared goals. This relationship has seen significant investments in health services, such as the refurbishment of Kijuura Health Centre III in 2020, which improved maternal healthcare services for the local population.
Under sports, the 3rd edition of the MTN Sponsored Tooro Masaza Football tournament is underway with the grand finale set to happen later this month. As MTN Uganda and Tooro Kingdom continue their journey, together, they remain unstoppable in their commitment to creating sustainable development that will benefit the people of Tooro for generations to come. Their partnership stands as a testament to the impact that unity, culture, and collaboration can have on communities.
