From May 27th – 31st, children enjoyed discounted offers at Genesis Cinemas, Playworld Abuja, GardenPark PortHarcourt, Upbeat Lagos, and Laterna Bookstores Lagos courtesy of MTN. Also, every hour on Children’s day, the first 20 participants who answered questions on the mPulse website correctly received gifts from MTN.  

Speaking on the impact of the event, Alabi Oluwafikunayomi, an SS1 student of Igbobi College, said, “It was a wonderful event, I learnt that I have a lot of resources at my fingertips and I have to make use of them.”
