At the unveiling of Season 3 of the life-changing social investment initiative Thursday September 15 2016 at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, Airtel’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Segun Ogunsanya, explained that through Touching Lives, Airtel offered practical relief, succour, hope, opportunities and credible platforms to liberate and empower the underprivileged, disadvantaged and hard to reach persons in the society.

“At Airtel, we believe that to be a great company we must first be a good company, and we are very much committed to earning our social license – the love and acceptance of the various communities and people we serve.

“When we launched the maiden edition of Touching Lives, major stakeholders especially the media wanted to know if the initiative was a one-off and if the launch was just for media exposure and brand building. Our responses haven’t changed – Airtel Nigeria is committed to creating positive impact in the various communities it operates in and we are genuinely inspired to uplift the less privileged around us as well as create prosperity platforms for many Nigerians on a long-term, sustainable basis,” Mr. Ogunsanya said in a press statement.

Enumerating how the telco’s multi-million Naira CSR initiative has brought positive change in the lives of thousands of Nigerians, Ogunsanya stated that through Airtel Touching Lives, the company provided potable water for several starved communities, built maternal and health centres for remote communities, built and renovated schools to provide quality education to the less privileged.

Continuing, he said it has also bankrolled the medical attention for many beneficiaries to the best hospitals locally and around, empowered the disabled with modern and sophisticated resources to make life better and provided solid economic platforms for thousands who are downtrodden, hard to reach, abandoned, neglected and condemned by family and society.

As Season 3 takes off, Airtel urged kind-hearted Nigerians to nominate persons, families or communities by calling or texting using the short code 367. Nominations can also be sent to [email protected] as well as Airtel stores nationwide.
