Leading GSM operator, MTN Communications Nigeria Limited was last week named Best Mobile Operator of the Year 2005 at the Nigerian Telecoms Awards ceremonies held at the Lagos Eko Hotels & Suits in Nigeria.
MTN Nigeria was adjudged best ahead of rivals, Vmobile and Globacom to clinch the glass-plated plaque. The company also picked the Brand of the Year 2004 at the Awards event. According to Amina Oyagbola, MTN Corporate Services Executive, the “Award is confirmation of the influence of MTN in the telecom sector of the Nigerian economy.” Expressing delight with this new recognition, Oyagbola described the Best Mobile Operator of the Year award as “exhilarating.”
MTN opened the year 2006 with the Best CSR Company of the year at the 11th THISDAY Awards held in Lagos. That was immediately followed by a highly acclaimed international award –– the Best Use of Phone in the Community, which its Rural Telephone Project won at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The company has also chalked up a Gold Award for Creativity and Quality of Service Delivery at the Nigerian Information Technology & Telecom Awards, NITTA 2002 and the Microsoft Award for doing the most to drive up the standards of IT services delivery in Nigeria.
In 2004, MTN was voted the Best Voice Calling Marketer of the Year at the Marketing Leaders Awards, and a Leadership Award 2004 from Card Technology Africa. The company also picked up other distinguished awards such as Most Media Friendly GSM Operator in Nigeria, Nigeria’’s Most Respected Company Award as well as the Nigerian Society of Engineers award.
According to Oyagbola, “This is yet another endorsement of our continuous efforts to provide excellent service to our customers.”
Oyagbola assured that MTN was determined to uphold the confidence reposed in it by the Nigerian public. “We shall not rest on our oars. We’re committed to excellence and innovation,” she enthused.

"its rather unfortunte but i really dont understand how MTN can win such an award. i use MTN and honestly i think i hate the company. i dont see how they are better than the others particularly vmobile and globacom. nothing is free on MTN, the charges on GPRS are beyond ridiculous and i daresay, MTN would have been charging queries for accound balance if possible. its a shame they can get away with such"
