To be fair and sincere, MTN contributed immensely to the success of the Fishing Festival by displaying brazenly its total commitment to its avowed Corporate Social Responsibility.(CSR)
Though when Ikechukwu Kalu, Senior Manager MTN, Channel and Regional Marketing Operations, told journalists during a pre-event press conference held at Lagos Sheraton Hotel, that MTN was coming big into the Argungu Fishing Festival, many never expected it in such a magnanimous weight.
The yellow communication outfit did not only donated N10 million to the organiser, but ensured the branding of all the arena, sponsored the Durbar and provides entertainment throughout the three days event doling out gifts items to participants.
The company also ensured that each of the winners of the Fishing competitions went home with a brand new generator.
And to show how deep the love which MTN has for the Argungu Fishing Festival, it led a strong delegate to Birnin-Kebbi which composed not only the management of cadre but two strong members of Board of Directors of MTN foundation, Mr. Dennis Okoro and Alhaji Muhammadu Danlami.

It is to connect and communicate. Hence we have taken it upon our self not only to identify with the social and cultural events of our people but to make such forum facilitate connection, communication and re-union.”
The contribution of MTN to the Argungu Fishing Festival was not underrated. According to Senator Argungu, “Out of all the network service providers in Nigeria, you can see that MTN is the only one which has continued to identify with the Festival of my people.
