Airtel Nigeria, in collaboration with
Opera Software, has established a free service for customers looking for
information on the Ebola virus.
By clicking the ‘Ebola Info’ pass on the
telecoms mobile store, users will be directed to the URLs they can
browse for free to educate themselves on the virus.
The Chief Commercial Officer, Airtel
Nigeria, Maurice Newa, restated the operator’s commitment to empowering
Nigerians with access to relevant, up-to-date information that would
deepen their understanding on matters relating to the Ebola virus and
ultimately assist them to stay safe and healthy at all times.
“As a responsible corporate citizen and
key stakeholder, we are deeply concerned about the well-being of
Nigerians and we will continue to leverage on our robust technological
platforms to empower citizens, especially as this is in line with our
corporate vision of becoming the most loved brand in the daily lives of
Nigerians,” Newa said.
He added, “We have all been following
the news of the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa and we want to
ensure that Nigerians have access to as much information as possible to
avoid contracting the virus.”
The Director for Opera sub-Saharan
Africa, Richard Monday, said, “We believe these facts should be
available freely and conveniently, which is why we are working with
Airtel Nigeria to help provide a valuable portal for subscribers to
access key details at any time.”
