Congratulations to both of them. They both have impressive profiles and I wish them great success in their new roles.

COMRADES, their own don better, congratulations to them

I like the combo from MTN, men to handle the technical issues as per men and women to handle the marketing strategy as per women .......

If the appointments were made by Tinubulation, one of the two names wouldn't have come anywhere near.

Why do you want to start toxicity on this thread for goodness sake?

Nepotism ❌
Merit ✅

I don’t know how it’s done here, but that moniker with “buna”, should have his or her comment deleted.

Can’t you guys just allow this country heal from the hate that has been spread since last year?

Did you go to US Navy and you saw "igbos at high ranks?"

What does it mean to be "at high ranks"?

Is CMO the head of MTN?
