The company commemorated this achievement at a special staff town hall meeting, where Teopister Nakyanzi from Luweero District was revealed as the lucky 20 millionth subscriber.

Yolanda Cuba, the MTN Group Vice President for Southern & Eastern Africa, emphasized the significance of this achievement. “Reaching 20 million customers is equivalent to the entire population of another African nation – that’s how remarkable this milestone truly is. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Teopister and encourage her to inspire others to join the ‘unstoppable network.'”
Sylvia Mulinge, the MTN Uganda CEO, has been a vocal advocate for greater female inclusion within the company and entrepreneurial spaces. Delighted to see a woman as the 20 millionth subscriber, she commended the entire MTN Uganda team for their dedication and tireless efforts. “This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to connecting all corners of Uganda. Together, we’ve proven that with a shared vision and collaborative spirit, no goal is unattainable,” she declared.
As a token of appreciation, Teopister received a brand new Tecno Camon 30 smartphone, an assortment of groceries, branded merchandise, and a cash reward transferred directly through MTN MoMo.
